If you were applying for a green card in the past, you could [do it yourself](https://www.uscis.gov/i-485).
However, today you need competent counsel to help you.

Our current government is changeable, as evidenced by the new eighteen-page [I-485 Adjustment of Status](https://www.uscis.gov/system/files_force/files/form/i-485.pdf?download=1)
form–as opposed to the old six-page form.  Now, the need for an attorney begins 
before you submit that application, not after when you encounter problems.

When you decide to marry a US citizen or non-citizen, that’s when you need to talk
to an immigration lawyer.
