Do I need to hire an attorney for a divorce waiver if I filed jointly

You are likely safe with the interview thing especially if USCIS has issued you notice that your case is ready to be scheduled for an interview but USCIS sometimes does things that are not expected and they may approve your case without an interview. (some people got their green card cases approved without an interview during the AOS process during COVID quite unexpectedly) 

 

If you get close to your devorce being finalized you may want to drop USCIS  a letter to request the conversion to a waiver.  

Yeah. I am just in the process of making a decision. But once I file the divorce, I will write them. Thanks a lot for your advice

I am Cr1 so I don't think that they will approve without an interview anyway but also, I haven't started the divorce process yet and not sure how to begin

I don't want to fight for anything so I want a civil divorce. But attorneys are too expensive. 

If you fill out your profile, it might help so people in that state can assist you.  

 

I know in my county, there is one day a week at the public library where a lawyer will come and offer free services checking documents.  If I needed to go the route of divorce, I could fill out the paperwork myself and have them check it.  People on the local FB pages have talked about it and recommended it to others who were feeling rather cash strapped and didn't want to involve a lawyer.  Might be worth a shot to look it up.

There are lots of resources to help file for a divorce….

In my state there are businesses that will help you file the divorce paperwork yourself (I used one myself to dissolve registered domestic partnership in divorce court - same process as a divorce here in my state) Also you look for a legal aid group that could help for free or use the internet to look up how to file a divorce in your state.
