My case was complete in the NVC on December 20th last year, hopefully this week I'll get scheduled for the February interview in KIEV. My question is do we need to keep our lawyer or we don't need him any more? the reason why I'm asking is that to have an attorney is not that helpfull I got more info from this forum and the only thing I got from him is endless bills and RFEs from USCIS and NVC so we want to tell him: "thanks ....... we don't need your help any more" but I'm not sure if we really don't need him or there is anything that NVC might send him or something we mght need from him for the future.

thanks for your response

If you feel comfortable doing it on your own and if your case is straightforward, then there is no real reason to keep him on, especially as it sounds like he has caused some minor problems so far.
