I was with my husband to do his 2004 taxes, and gave the form I-864 to the tax professional just for her to explain me a little... I told her that my husband will be my sponsor... She told me that is really easy to file this form...Ok... After that, she asked me why my lawyer didn't help me with the form, and I told her that I do all this by myself. She was surprised because she said that the procedure will last longer if I am not represented by a lawyer. I told her, that I know that it will take 2 to 3 years to have my GC, and that the work permit was right now the most important thing for me, so I can work...
She confused me !!! Do I really need a lawyer ???? I have to pay for all this application and it's already a lot, I don't know if I can afford a lawyer now !!
What do you think ?? Does anyone "represent him/herself" and had no problem with all the forms and the process time. Did it take longer because you were not represented by a lawyer ???
Thanks for any input !!
