Lawyer is good to some applic

I am not a lawyer.I just want to talk about my openion.
Since lawyer are proffesionals in application process, sometimes they can save applicants some time. For example, they can help to prepare the documents in a complete way, so you don't have to waite couple months to resubmit your file.
And some people might have complicated situation, lawyer may know how to get around it.
People might have their reasons to spend several thousands. Sometimes that is worthy.
In your case, you can do it by yourself. But that doesn't apply to all the people. Thank you for sharing your experience. And let others make their own choices based on their own backgrounds.
