Well, here's the situation...
I got married to a LPR in October and she's becoming a citizen in the middle of next month (had her interview, passed and the oath is scheduled). My mother last year put me on her AOS application as an unmarried under 21 son/daughter. She married a USC but because of issues, the marriage didn't work out well and they are now seperated. The application was denied. So I've fallen out of status again. My mother does not want to persue it since she's moving back to her country. So now my wife want's to sponser me. Here's the info on us. We're both college freshmen. She's 18 I'm 19. I go to a school but she's transfering into my school next semester (january 2007). We've found a nice room in a house of 4. If we like the room/house we're signing the lease this friday. All her documents (including her soon to be certificate of naturalization) has my last name. We have joint bank accounts/savings/credit cards. No car, we don't drive. We're going to enroll in our college as married living together off-campus. My brother and his wife is sponsering us (they definatly meet the requirements, she's a teacher and he's a silkscreener with 2 kids. They definatly make over 25k/year). I know we have a good chance. The thing is all hte lawyers around here charge $1700-$2000 for the process+ fees. As college students that's a lot. But we also get hammered financial aid wise since I get no financial aid. So that lawyers fee would pay itself more then triple in one semester if I'm a LPR. I could fill out all the forms, It's not hard, I'm good at that. I'm just wondering, do you guys think that our situation warrents a lawyer? I mean it's pretty cut and dry except for our age. I think that's hte only sticky point. They could give us trouble for that, but everythings legal. BTW I came here legally but my mom and I overstayed back in 98. I don't have the I-94 anymore since that bastards took it in my mom's interview, I do have a copy though.
