Not sure if you are talking about the actual application process for the green card (which I of course already went through) or my question about "the six month in the county" rule.

I spoke to an immigration lawyer before I applied, and had I followed her adviced it would only have complicated things for me. The whole process from filing to actually receiving my permanent residency was less than three months. I did not want to involve a pricey lawyer to do something I could handle myself..
