Changes in Immigration policy

I cannot imagine trying this without a lawyer (and I am a reasonably resilient person with middlin' Spanish) -- (1) because of the stress level, (2) because of the lawyer's practical inside knowledge (people have commented about how a good lawyer knows how things *really* work, not just how they look on paper), and (3) because if you're on your own and not super familiar with the process, all it can take is one stupid little misunderstanding to hit a brick wall.


My hat is off to anyone who has managed this solo, but having a good lawyer can make a night-and-day difference... and dealing with recalcitrant bureaucrats is their bread and butter, so if that part makes you hesitate, put it in the hands of a pro.

I did my intial application by myself and with limited Spanish,  probably added a month or so onto the timeline doing it alone.

All of our dreams are on the other side of fear.

And fear comes from the unknown! It will work out and have faith
