I got a direct approval, no RFE
It took me 4 months to write, after researching the internet for a year. I got some guidance from people I met in FB groups. Lawyers asked for 18k $ non refundable paid upfront. The same lawyers ask for 5000 $ (2500 upfront and 2500$ once approved) when it is about other professions. It is for exactly this reason that I have decided to apply myself.
Good Luck everyone.
Congratulations on getting your visa. Any advice or tips on what helped you submit a successful application? Happy to put in the work myself but any websites you found useful would be helpful. Cheers
