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 site You 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.
Good luck!
