Adjustment of Status - I-485

Hello,

My husband and I are concurrently filing and I a feeling pretty good about our filling out of the paper work and including documents. We will be mailing it this week, but some friends recommended we speak to a lawyer. We don't exactly have the money for this... I am hoping to hear from some folks who have filed without a lawyer. His student visa expires at the beginning of June so I am feeling a bit anxious to get the package sent out...

This is a copy of our cover letter:
