Procedures for Applying for a Green Card by Marriage

I am a student visa status holder who recently married an American. My partner says that we can apply for permanent residence by ourselves without using a professional firm or a lawyer. I know that the company is not a lawyer, but they can take care of the procedure for you, and I think they know how to do it cheaper than a lawyer, so even if it costs a little more money, I think it's better than doing it yourself.

We did use a lawyer, but that was before the internet age. Now, it is all on the USCIS website. It takes more work, but I think the result is the same. In other words, I think using a lawyer or an expert is how you want to make it easier. Also, lawyers are the most expensive because they can deal with problems in their own way. In particular, you must reside in the U.S. until you obtain it, but there are procedures that allow you to return to Japan if, for example, a parent dies or you need to go to the hospital due to illness. This is indeed a complicated process, and you need a lawyer because you don't have much time. They can make an appointment quickly, for example.
Why don't you peruse the following site first ?

It's all on this siteYou can read all about it on this site. If you read it and think you can do it, the cheapest way is to do it yourself. But it takes time and effort. You don't want to use a specialist because you don't want to spend time and effort. Lawyers are for complicated cases. If you need someone's help, it will be that much more expensive.

All you have to do is prepare the necessary documents, fill them out, and submit them
on time. My husband and I worked together to file the application without the use of a lawyer.
You also need to prepare the necessary documents from Japan, so you need your family's cooperation.

You have to have a good income to be denied support.
By the way, a friend of mine did it himself and it took him 3 years instead of 6 months. He went back and forth because of incomplete paperwork. He said it would have been better to have a lawyer do it, so I didn't do it myself.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

In the end, it is they who have to collect and fill out the documents themselves. The lawyer or professional service provider will give you a list of all the documents you need to collect, and then you arrange them according to the items specified by the immigration bureau.
It is very tedious work, but only you can collect the documents … by yourself. The effort will be the same whether you spend money or not.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Declaration of residence for the past 5 years was, I believe, in the section. I am a little unsure about the police certification from Japan, but I need a proof of birth in Japan (koseki kyohon) and my mother sent me the original. I am about to ask the embassy to translate it for me as it needs to be translated.

Since I plan to apply online, I think I will be less likely to forget to write things down than if I write them down by hand, but even so, I think there is less risk of the process being delayed due to incompleteness, etc., if I go through a vendor. I am sure there are documents that should be submitted in addition to the application, so I will do as much research as I can on the Internet and submit everything I can.

Thank you for your advice. I would like to take the sure way, but I was wondering if it is ok to use the proof from Nitary? I'm sorry, I don't even know if it's okay since it was translated by the consulate in the first place, so maybe I'm asking the wrong question here.

Sorry, it is impossible to Notary a translation. Who will determine that the content is correct ? Notary can notarize that the signature is his/her own, but it is impossible for the text to be correct.
We do not recommend that you translate the document yourself.We do not recommend that you translate the document yourself, because there is a possibility that you may translate it for convenience.
You should have a third party translate the text and get a Certificate from that translator for the Japanese-English translation.
For example, we have the following company.

Honestly, we recommend that you do not ask in Japanese at Bibinagi, but search the internet yourself and do some research.
I did a Google search for how to get translation done for green card application and got the following results

I didn't realize there were so many USCIS certified translation agencies. I'll give it a try, since it seems to be possible to do it by simply sending a scanned image online. It's better and more reliable than asking someone I know. Thank you very much.

I am thinking of doing so because it is easier to have both the translation and notarization done at once than to have them translated and then go to the Notary, even if it costs a little more money. The problem is the procedure starting with the filing of the I-130 and I-130A, but I will do my best little by little so that I don't make any mistakes.

He gave me all the information about what and how much to prepare, which and where are the designated clinics for medical examinations, and I signed the documents.

I also did the translation of my family register myself. I took my family register, ID and the translated one to Ups and had it notarized. $ I think it cost me $30. I also found a hospital and went there by myself. I got my green card in 2020, so I think you can do it by yourself. Good luck !
