Well I don't see a list of what was actually submitted, it could be possible the rest of the evidence was so good it didn't matter. While photos are secondary evidence, they can (can not do) hold

There are cases where front loading a petition is advantageous.   But none of that matters to USCIS.  USCIS is looking to see if the parties are eligible to for the benefit being applied for.   Check

Hiring a lawyer is nothing but a headache and a waste of money unless you have a complicated case.

I have a lawyer and at the first part of the process (uscis) they were really helpful but at the NVC stage it was a waste of money. they don't care if you get an RFE they will just tell you "if something is needed or rejected, we will provide then" yeah because they are not the one biting their nails. since you are at the USCIS stage just wait and see if you get one or not but I suggest you start searching for what you will need for the NVC stage starting now. NVC stage is pretty simple, I had to upload everything on my own and get the right documents on my own because lawyers are as lost as you are at the NVC stage because they don't have a clue about documents needed from your country and they don't read for updates or anything. That has been my personal experience with my lawyer, waste of money! Good luck

Sounds like a terrible lawyer.  You'll probably get an RFE if the lawyer at least submitted all the required documents.  If not you'll get denied and have to refile.

You said the lawyer asked for the marriage certificate and its translation only so how can he submit every requirement. Have you read the i130 instructions listing evidences of bonafide marriage? As said, RFE is likely.

Obviously not without any genuine marriage evidence.

Did a google search, found 3 lawyers with that name, none are immigration.   The one in NYC is a criminal white collar attorney.  Great if you commit fraud, not great for immigration.

I got an RFIE for a tax transcript instead of a tax return. They issued it almost immediately, I sent the transcript back the same day I received the RFIE in the mail, and about a week later they updated my status online to “RFIE received, case will resume processing.” An RFE is not the end of the world.
