Folks
Does any one have suggestions on filing the papers with a lawyer vs self? the process seems straightforward but some of the things being mentioned in the forums (with regard to RFE / Name check and so on) does it help have a lawyer? does it make any difference in any of these situations if we have a lawyer? My understanding is that the Lawyer can only help ensure the forms are in order prior to filing but after that its all with USCIS - is that a fair statement? i.e if they ask for any RFE / name check then lawyer or not, its the same situation.
And finally any tips on engaging a lawyer? where do I look for one (weblisting? )critiera in selecting one (i.e. should they be local to where we live / have a long history etc/)
Thanks!
