We did both the AOS and ROC without an attorney. No problem with i485 and still waiting on our i751 filed in May, but so far so good while waiting for it to be fully processed. The I751 form is not complex or even all that long I think most people who can follow instructions can fill it out successfully.
 
Go to the USCIS web page and download the instructions and follow them carefully. You download the current i751 form PDF and fill it out on your computer.
 
Remember, the green card holder is the petitioner & the beneficiary, and the US citizen spouse (or LPR spouse) signs the spouse section if you are still married (standard joint i751 application). [Must file joint i751 petition within 90 days of the expiration date of the conditional green card]
You if you can't file with your spouse your need to file an i751 waiver application due to divorce, death, abuse... (You can file a i751 waiver case anytime)
 
Print out the i751 application and have the CGC petitioner sign and the spouse sign if needed (joint application)
enclose the current fee i751 + biometrics fee  pay with check, money order or you can use a credit card if you add the g-1450 form https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/g-1450.pdf
 
Check the current mailing address on the USCIS website either USPS PO box address or UPS, Fedex street address depending on how your ship it to them.
 
(Note need this proof below if you file with a lawyer's help or not)
You need to attach proof of your bona fide marriage proof you and your spouse live together and comigel money together.  
Joint tax returns and IRS tax transcripts (available to download online)  for each year of marriage.

You can add a cover letter that explains the evidence enclosed  and any special circumstances with your marriage to make the evidence easier to understand (optional)
 
You are not required to submit everything listed above but as much as you have, if you fall short in one area of proof then provide more proof from other sources.
 
 
 

hello,  
i’ve been following yours and some other posts on here since we’re currently at the NVC stage of just waiting for interview appt date and notification. My husband has been sending me videos, live feeds, etc of  the protest and #EndSars protests and police brutality in Nigeria. I hope you and your loved ones are staying safe. 
What is the atmosphere on the grounds and what can we as people of the diaspora do to make noise about the danger our spouses/loved ones are in? I heard they’ve even closed Lagos Consulate office for 48 hrs. I myself am super scared about my husband being there because he lives and works in the heart of it all. 
Thanks in advance for your time; please stay safe. 

My husband had his interview at the Dublin Embassy this morning and OUR VISA WAS APPROVED!!! 🎉
 
He said he was there for about an hour total, but most of it was waiting around -- the actual interview took less than 10 minutes. Because it was such an important interview he had been nervous all week but he said it was very friendly and actually a bit underwhelming with how easy it went.
 
He said he was asked the following questions, most of which were threaded through the very pleasant conversation they had:
Where is your wife currently? How long has she lived there? What does she do for a living? When/how did you meet? When do you plan to go to the US? He brought everything that was requested in the email the Embassy sent when they confirmed the appointment. We also brought copies of everything, as well as proof of our relationship which included letters and photos. They didn't ask to see any of it. We were given a little over 3 weeks notice when the interview was scheduled and we were able to have the medical exam performed a week after receiving the interview date. The medical results were sent electronically directly to the Embassy and they were already received by our interview date, which was 2 weeks later.
 
So we're very excited going into the weekend! Now we just have to wait for the courier service to send him his passport with the Visa inside so he can hop on a plane!!

As long sworn affidavit of declarartion of age is  from a high/magistrate court in Nigeria.
Take 2 passport photographs and the datapage of IP with the affidavit to NPC office in nigeria to apply for the certificate.

I can't thank God enough! Today, I received an email from NVC. Finally, I'm through with NVC stage today. Consular stage loading...! Thank u Lord!
