A lawyer will just cost you a lot of money and you still have to fill in the paperwork yourself. Follow the guides (but get the most recent forms from the USCIS webpage because they've created new ones) and ask questions on the board. 

 

There are a lot of same sex couples on the site and they've never have had any problems because of that.

 

I would say that if you don't know how and what to file, do consult with a lawyer before taking the advice from a forum. At the end of the day, immigration is not one of those topics that you can just "ah well we failed, let's try again!" - better prepare if you know you don't have the time and/or ability.

OK. That is not it. Just in case, here is a list of all the offices in DOS

Your sponsor office is probably one of the offices under Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA). 

 

Anyway, if the IR-1 is going to take a while, then you can just push the interview date and avoid the waiver process. You can even let the consulate know what you want your interview to be after X date to meet the 2 year requirement and they will do that.

 

 

That doesn't matter. The sponsor is the Department of State. That pretty much means 0% of the No Objection case going through for a favorable recommendation.

Thanks for your advices. I have looked at USICS web page  and the different steps seem clear. And I'm really curious and do many research. So I do think it should be fine. I wish should I say.

 

For the No objection statement after your different advices we will not do it.
