My wife was in similar boat and we decided to file on our own! Got approved and now she has GC. Only advice I can give is: 1. Start early and do not rush into it 2. Submit plenty to pictures (and I mean 50+ from different days / Evers etc.) 3. If you absolutely need peace of mind, have a lawyer review the application. That would cost you $400 to $ 500 as opposed to $2K for the entire application.

It’s not rocket science especially if you have a simple case and no complications. But you still have to apply the right way and ensure it is all accurate

- I didn't get selected in the H1B lottery.
- My company has agreed to send me to their London office for a year (haven't yet filed application).
- OPT ends in late June, so I can stay till mid-late August (grace period).

Question:
Should I just move to London as soon as I'm able to, or is it worth waiting until the end of my OPT in August in case they do a second round of the H1B lottery?
