I used a lawyer for the initial GC application, and used the same one for submitting my removal of conditions. I’m a super anxious person and my SO isn’t great with paperwork, so having someone to look over everything, tell us what is needed and take care of the mailing is so helpful for me. Using the same lawyer also meant that she knew our case, and was able to add the new evidence we provided to our original folder of supporting evidence.
the cost for this was much less too as it’s less work for the lawyer. I believe ours charged around $3000 for the GC app versus $900 for this.
