Your calculation is correct using the physical presence calculator. But you can let a few days pass before applying just to be safe. You can apply one week after December 3. You dont need a lawyer to apply. Its pretty straightforward and easy. My suggestion will be to use the lawyer only if its free.

@shaam Your question is "from which date can I apply". And the answer to that will always be : the day after you accumulated 1095 days of physical presence within the last 5 year, including up to 2 years (counting for half so 1 year) of temporary status, which includes being a protected person. And that puts it for you in December 2026.
Your representative, who has a much better view of your situation, is advising you to have a few months buffer beyond the minimal threshold, and is answering a different question : when SHOULD you apply?
Yeah, it's always better to apply with a large enough buffer beyond the minimal threshold of eligibility, and April 2027 will give you a 4 months buffer. If you're wondering why April 2027 in particular, maybe there something else to the representative's answer but I can't speculate on it, all the information I have is the one you gave. All I can say, speaking of buffers : the more the merrier.
