Why did your sister have to pay so much money??? Sounds like she did this long time ago?
OP, my sister is going through this process. After it's over, she will have paid $8,000.
So I agree with the rest, you're lucky your lawyer is not charging you a lot of money. It sounds kind of cheap if you ask me. The lawyer who helped me with DACA said she'd charge me $6,000 for the marriage process if I were interested in doing it in the future.
This is the MOST important thing in your life right now. This is your chance... Do things right!!

$2600 is relatively cheap for the whole thing. My sister's case ended up costing her about $10,000 after it was all said and done and it was worth every penny because she's been a citizen for many years now and she has earned many times more and has a new life now. Of course that was before DACA and she had no safety net like you do but make no mistake, married or not, you are still undocumented.
My suggestion would be to become a full time student and full time employee. Better yet, if you haven't signed up for classes yet, become a part time student and overtime employee and pay for this. $2600 is pretty low. A green card is worth gold.
