My I-140 application was recently approved after an RFE. I am now preparing for my I-485 application. I am thinking of applying by myself without any lawyers. I am looking for reliable templates, DIY packages, or even somebody's accepted application package (without any personal information, of course) available for download so that I know what a successful petition looks like. Anything (recent enough) would help. I really don't want to hire a lawyer since it seems like you have to do almost 90% of the work anyway.

Here are some details of my case:

1. Current visa status: F1 OPT
2. Dependents: Wife (F2), no kids
3. Work status: I am not currently working in my field of proposed endeavor (involved in a relative field) because for the life of me, I am not getting any job offers. I have probably sent out 1000s of job applications. My plan is to explain in my personal statement that my current job is a means to sustain myself while I look for a better job that matches my PE, which is the truth.

Thanks!
