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

What’s your burner SC1 ?

It is super easy bro! Coming to US is harder than your green card application

@STC1 - beggars cant be choosers

SC1 - burner please. I might need some advice in next few months.

@A1 I did not submit any pictures just followed the application instructions.
