Just got my 10 year card on the mail, no interview required (I need to update my timeline). I filed on the first days of April 2021.
 
I've haven't filed N400 yet, I need to start working on that. 
 
Hope everyone gets good news soon!

It is clear that you want to provoke people here, especially with that last sentence, so I will keep it short.
To live in society we need a balance between personal freedom and common good. We need a minimum of trust in institutions and experts and we need to have empathy and compassion. Otherwise society will just crumble. 
The only thing I can tell you, without sarcasm, is that you try to understand the people that disagree with you and see where they are coming from.
 
Lastly, you say you got a religion exemption but you say the reason for not taking the vaccine is "My wife's health is more important than any amount of money". So basically you are admitting that you just used religious exemption for what you consider to be a health concern. This is very disrespectful for people that actually value their religious freedom and practices. 
 
Good luck in life!

In my opinion the best POE is the one where your plane travel ends because if there is any delay at immigration you do not risk missing your next flight. 
When I arrived with a k1 the immigration office was quite crowded and it took a while to process it so knowing my husband was outside waiting with no rush to get into another plane helped curb the stress.

A normal petition without complications is very easy to prepare. Like someone said before, consider the spousal visa instead of the k1 if that works for you. In the past k1 visas had the advantage of being faster but now everything takes ages so that advantage is no longer relevant.
 
I came to the US on a k1 and let me tell you that the months I lived without being able to work or leaving the country were awful. Not only I felt bad to live at my husband's expenses, staying at home without my friends and family all day was driving me insane.
 
Lastly, I worked for a few months at an immigration lawyer and in my personal experience my boss was an amazing person, but she would be the first to tell you that no petition is guaranteed and that having a lawyer does not make things go faster. Actually, for simple cases like yours, they were put on the bottom of the pile and priority was given to complicated cases that are time sensitive like asylum requests, criminal background, writing wavers, etc. They also do not get the documents you need, you still need to do all the work. They just explain what is requested, give you a check-list and make sure everything is put together at the end. For some people this may be important, especially if they have problems understanding the instructions or have complicated backgrounds, but you seem on top of it.

I think she meant, you should hire a lawyer so a lawyer can get paid. If the case is not complicated you don’t need a lawyer. If there are any complications then one could be advised. Plenty of people have done it DIY and guides and help here on VJ.
