Has anyone applied for citizenship this year ? If anyone would be so kind, I would be very, very grateful if you could contact me with a few questions.
Thank you very much.

If there are no problems with the application, I don't think you need a lawyer. If there is something to be worried about, I would consult a lawyer.
If you are worried about your English, an agent, not a lawyer, will suffice. It is looser than green card.

The content itself is at the same level as a basic driver's license application
If you understand the GC process and have a US university degree, you can do it yourself
Even if you use a law firm, the actual difference will be handled by a barrister

I am an engineer, not a law specialist.
I'm an engineer, not a lawyer I've retained a professional immigration lawyer twice for H1B
but the documents were too sloppy
I applied for GC by myself

I saved $10,000 in lawyer fees
I'm not a lawyer for GC to Citizen I'm a lawyer for GC to Citizen. No particular reason to fail ( unless you have an arrest record ) Self will not be a problem
5 , If you want to spend 6,000 and still ask for help, that is an option

After getting Citizen,
you only need to make efforts to renounce your Japanese nationality ( you know what I mean ~ )

There would be no need to make an effort to renounce Japanese nationality after obtaining Citizen. It would disappear on its own.

GC, I've seen people do their citizenship by themselves and have to redo their documents because they didn't have enough, so I hired a professional and got it done in one shot
By the way, ⒌,000 for citizenship is a rip-off
What the hell is $10,000 for a lawyer ? Did you have to be in the country illegally or something to qualify for this? You didn't meet the requirements for illegal immigration or something ??
