DO I need a Lawyer for N400 filing

[kenfrNYC]

I already filled the forms and seems like not complicated
Couple of my friends suggested I should let lawyer file my application

Does that make any difference at all?

What do you think?

Thanks

It depends. If there are any issues in your past, related to overstays, working without authorization, etc., even if it is not clear if such issues exist, it is generally better to have a lawyer to handle such complications.
If you have a clean slate, there is no problem filing everything yourself.
But even then, some people still get a lawyer, just for their peace of mind.

Thank you so much for your reply.
I dont have any issues everything is clean slate.
One other question , can I send both applications mine and my wife in the same envolope and send with FEDEX???

Thanks

Its recommended to use 2 envelopes one for each. Unlike a tax return Natz is handled by individual.

I suggest sending everything with a return receipt requested. So you have a solid proof of submitting the application. As with INS, always make a copy of everything you send them. I did copy of N400 and everything I enclosed. When you have interview, you can read it through and see what you wrote and always be prepared.

FedEx is not required unless you have lot of $$ floating around. I used USPS with return receipt requested. It is just a little more than $5. Good luck!

I do not recall where, but I remember reading that the husband/wife application should be mailed in one envelope so that they are handled together. That is what we did and, so far, we had our fp and interviews together.
