Did you hire a lawyer when you petitioned your parents?

Hi there, I am going to petition my parents for US permanent residency and I was wondering if it is recommended to hire an immigration lawyer?

When I applied for my greencard, I hired a lawyer and he pretty much all he did was submitted the documents and forms. I did all the compilation of evidence, etc. I felt like having a lawyer was not worth it.

I did not hire a lawyer when I applied for citizenship. I passed the interview without any help of a lawyer.

My parents have clean records, no criminal history and they’ve maintained their tourist visas for decades now.

I would like to know your thoughts on this and if you would recommend hiring a lawyer for petitioning parents. Thank you!

Hey, to be honest I don't know much about these issues but a good law firm or lawyer can help you in good manners.
