I didn't take one. If you are comfortable giving interview i don't see the need for one. However i don't know the details of your case. Either way, wouldn't hurt.

I took Lawyer with me as my company paid for. I personally don't think you need one unless there is some issue with your case. My timeline is below: 140/485 Filed: June 2017 (premium) 140 Approved: July 2017 EAD/AP Approved: Nov 2017 1st File transfer: Jan 2018 2nd File transfer: March 2018 Interview June 2018; Approved Same day. Got the card within a week.

Johny , What kind of issues did you have ? Did you have anything on your record ? I am on the same boat .. waiting for interview but scared to death since I have a DUI

gorkhalee, I did not have any issue. What I meant to say (and just my opinion) was you don't need a lawyer presence unless you have some record (like dui, police record, etc). I took Lawyer with me because my company paid for but it didn't made any difference during the interview.

You don't need a lawyer. The lawyer is only there if the person taking your interview does something unconstitutional . But since you have a DUI you can take a lawyer for your peace of mind. I have seen multiple people with DUI get GC. Just make sure you have all official records that you have successfully completed your DUI thing ( that is needed for sure).
