Thank you for your answer! We are afraid that our proofs do not have long enough history: even though our names are on everything as spouses (water, gas, internet, energy, trash, healthcare, life insurance, dental, authorized user on credit cards), they are dated back to feb 2023 the earliest with the exception of our checking/saving account, which will take 3-4 more months (itin takes longer to get during tax season), so it will only have a history of a month or two max.
May I ask what makes a school shady? If this matters, I’ve been in the us for 2-3 academic years for highschool, one semester at a big public college in florida, then I started at my most current school (private and small) before stop registering for last fall semester. I’ve always departed accordingly to my visa terms, traveling back to my country every summer to visit.
The lawyer recommended to us quotes around 3-5k (fees not included) for filing the petition, which we can afford but with our baby coming soon, buying me a car once i can renew my driver license, and for me to start school again after birth, we would want to try doing this ourselves if our case is not too complicated to save money for other goals.
Afaik, both of us have never gotten in trouble with law enforcements or traffic violations, this is our first marriage, he has never petitioned for anyone nor have i ever got sponsored.
