Hello All

I Have a question. I am scheduled to file for my i-751 (condition removal on green card) before june 18. I have already wasted 14days thinking if I should hire an attorney or not. Attorney is asking me that he will charge $1500 to file my I-751 and if I recieve an interview letter then $1000 for attorney fee. I think he is asking too much but my question is what if I dont go through an attorney now, but if I recieve an interview letter Can I hire an attorney then? Any information and advice will be helpful.

Also for evidence of relationship:

Me and my husband are living with our family so we have no lease or mortgage under our name.

all we have is:

  • joint bank accounts
  • pge bill
  • joint saving account
  • life insurance my husband as beneficiary
  • car isurance
  • car title both our name
  • he recently started a job so we have health insurance me as beneficiary
  • two year taxes
  • few photos of two us and few with family mom dad brother in law n sister in law , just casual pics clicked at home.
  • we never go out on weekend gatherings , did not even go to any weddings coz nobody invited us :dancing: and not very fond of clicking lot of pictures usually click selfies or have invidiual pics (I heard pics are not that important ?)

Thanks

PK

I have gone through this entire process without an attorney, there is a ton of great information on here and a lot of knowledgeable people that have been through the process that will answer questions you have. But first spend some time reading the pinned threads.

You have a lot of good evidence and you can get affidavits from your family to say you are living together with them.

Ultimately it's your decision to use an attorney, I don't know anything about the process of hiring one.

Is there a reason you NEED an attorney? Something complicated about you case that perhaps you have not shared with us?

Attorneys don't CARE about us and our success in getting through all of the hoops. They get paid either way.

Only you can take as much care as needed in order to make sure you are prepared and ready to go. If you don't NEED an attorney due to complications in your case, I say don't bother. Save the money and take a fun trip this summer!

Hi Hogan,

I dont have any complications in my case. We both are living happily it just I am nervous and someone suggested go through an attorney. I think you are right I should save that money.

Do you think my evidences are enough?

Thanks again
