My EB-5 I-526 has been approved, and I have already been in the USA for 90 days. I now need to file an adjustment of status. Can I file this by myself, or do I need a lawyer? If I do, what are the approximate fees for retaining counsel for this type of service?

Immigration Attorneys DirectoryYou do not need a lawyer to file an application/petition with USCIS - however, it is strongly recommended to retain counsel to avoid unnecessary delays and/or errors in the application process.

Immigration Attorneys DirectoryIt is not required to have an attorney but I certainly recommend it as there is much more to these cases than just completing some forms.

Immigration Attorneys DirectoryNo one needs a lawyer for anything but it usually is a good idea to use someone who has successfully done it a few thousand times. Nothing about US immigration is intuitive. Legal fees vary significantly depending on a variety of factors.
