Wait for adjustment of status or leave the country?

That's not how lawyers operate tho. Lawyers are obligated to act in the best interest of their clients. Those who consistently do not will risk of getting disbarred and losing their license to practice.

I am aware that there are exceptions to the rule; no two lawyers are the same. Regardless of what a lawyer does, it is in the best interest of his or her clients, even if it is ALSO essentially in their best interest as well. Just recently, a friend in NY needed legal advice for her application she arrived as a J1 then switched to F1 and then got married to a
USCIS citizen. She was ready to file the I485 and the whole gamut of attached forms. She wanted to be sure of the forms she should submit. She contacted several lawyers, all gave their price first, then several told her they don't take on 'review case' but should be hired from the start of the process, which implied she would have to start the process all over from the start. Lawyers all evaluate a case prior to and during the relevant process and yes several are motivated by the monetary gain.

I do not think it is a good idea to send all the evidence such as (utility, insurance, bank statements etc) initially. You take all the documents when you are called for interview.

Nope, bad advice. Fraud attorneys provide this advice. Best to follow the form instructions.

Hi,
thanks to all. I decided to stay here in the US, and will send some evidence as they mention in the instructions. Then I will continue getting more evidence to show at the interview.
Im in RI.
I have another question. My wife has her bank accounts and we agreed before getting married to leave as is, I mean we will not take her properties and money she already has before the wedding. Is that an issue?

Do you recommend us to get a lease, like a new car?

It does not matter what you do, as long as your do not lie about how you share a life together. I seen **** marriages last for many years with a lot of evidence. None of that evidence mattters if you do not share a life together. just be yourselves at the interview.

......as long as you are not doing anything illegal. Go on and live your life. Buy/ lease do whatever you want. You will be ok. Just keep everything legal
