I could have done it myself as well because it’s not difficult it’s just a long time to fill out all the paperwork and I wouldn’t wanna miss out anything because if i do that’s more time in a process so for me have a secure feeling and piece of mind i hired one yes..When I was looking for a lawyer I was looking for one on the google  who has a lot of positive reviews you have to be careful with Lawyers but thankfully I had the best lawyer in the area and I’m happy I hired her😃

Im so glad your'e done with it and with peace of mind. I am still contemplating on whether or not to hire one.

Typically pro-bono is for complex cases of abuse or asylum or if there are deportation/removal proceedings. It would be rare to get pro-bono help with basic form filing but you never know. Catholic Charities provides some aid but again I think its reserved for complex issues. You can try using google to find pro-bono attnys near you or every state has a bar webpage you can use.  Also most users on VJ are DIY! So you dont have to look far to find people who filed on their own successfully.

Yes I can not find any pro bono in my area. I can do this. Thank you

We ended up hiring a lawyer after some back and forth on it. While it adds to the cost, we felt that there was a strong benefit in having someone (to ask questions and to discuss things with) that had gone through the process so many times with different kinds of cases. The lawyer we hired also offers interview practice, and they'll also attend the interview with us.

 

To try and minimize the financial impact, we also did end up doing a payment plan with our lawyer. A payment is due every time my case is processed successfully: (1) at the initial filing; (2) receipt of EAD/work permit; (3) receipt of interview notice; (4) and after the interview.

I'm waiting for my interview notice right now, but so far, our lawyer has been really supportive and patient with all my questions throughout the entire process. We're scheduling the interview practice a week before the interview, plus I think we're doing a quick run through the day before.

 

It was also really great to have somebody do the filing for us. We didn't need to double check anything. We had some difficulty with answering some parts of the application, but the lawyer was ultimately able to decide what the best course of action was for those questions.

These are exactly my thoughts why it’s good to hire a lawyer our lawyer was so supportive and patient and so professional and helped us with everything that we are really grateful for her.She was practicing with us previously with my husband’s naturalization process as well and she’s coming to our interview later on also.

Much good luck to both of you, by the way! Hopefully it does not take very long for your applications.

Does it have to do something about the congressman? I am confused. So do you thing it should be better that you hired a lawyer?
