Yeah I agree, I guess I will just go ahead and start to file N400 by myself. It isnt that hard

So I am trying to see if it's worth spending 1K to 1.5K to hire a lawyer for N400 or simply go ahead and file N400 myself. My case is rather simple (I would think), but not simplest case it can be We started with the lawyer from the beginning when applying for I 485/I130. 201X: filled I 485 with I130 with marriage based 201X+1: Received RFE due to I864 that my spouse's income not sufficient and we ended up using with my own portfolio (i.e: Cash) as a supplementary finance to prove that we have met I 864 requirement. After local USCIS interview, received conditional green card. During the interview, no question about the income 202Y: I 751 filed and approved 2024: Have first baby (from IVF) My biggest concern is.... I know my then-lawyer wrote a letter explaining how my asset in portfolio can suffice the I864 requirement, but I dont know what he wrote, and because I dont know what he wrote, if and when, during N400 interview, an officer asks about it, I dont know what to say. All I know was I had to give bank statement showing cash equivalent, and then my interview was scheduled in Chicago, IL. I know that generally speaking, USCIS wont ask (or review) about how an applicant receives green card but occasionally, they do if there are some red flag. I have not used any public charge. No other issues like criminal history/tax issues/full time F1 student before AOS for 4 years, just plain and simple. My spouse at the time was struggling to find a job when we applied for I 485. Current income level is not even eligible for Fee reduction to N400, so no more issues Field office is gonna be Chicago, IL (The same as my AOS interview) Not necessarily sure, if this is going to be a red flag, but just wanted to see what's the consensus here. The lawyer I filed for I485 is also doing N400 (with 1.X K lawyer fee). Thank you for reading
