Yes and no!
I was looking for a lawyer and was lucky to find an honest and excellent lawyer. He “only” charged me $500 to be my guide.
He told me he would ask the questions on the form and fill it out, but said I could do it myself. If questions occur, I can reach out to him. This option worked well for us.
I waited 1.5 to receive my card. I don’t know if I could have gotten it earlier if I hadn’t changed the interview’s location.I originally wanted to get interviewed in Europe as we still were over there, but then, during the process, we decided to move to America for good. I had to let them know that I had changed my location. So, this could have slowed down the process for a second.
No.
You can leave the country if you have filed for a travel grant and got approved. Otherwise, if you go without permission, your visa process will stop, and you must reapply and pay again.
The form costs money again, so ensure everything is set at home before leaving.
This was a part of my green card journey; if you have questions, leave them in the comments or message me! I am more than happy to answer them.
Write to you soon!
