Hi,

 
I filed the divorce waiver with my lawyer last year for removal of conditions. My ex wife and I were not divorced yet, so we only submitted the application with the divorce paperwork as proof.
 
I just got the final divorce notice a couple of months ago, and I managed to get the joint health insurance card that my ex wife and I had at the time as more proof of our past marriage. I was not able to find that document back then. 
 
I emailed my lawyer asking if we should file the final divorce paperwork and health insurance card while my case is pending. He said he will send it when USCIS asks for it. Is that how the procedure normally works? I thought that I could mail additional documents or proof to my case at any time.
 
Thank you

Yes you can update your case any time.

 

Explain that RFE means delays in adjudication and potential interview you may otherwise not have if you send a copy finalized divorce decree now.

Then ask why he thinks it's best to wait...

So the lawyer is representing my case and he’s supposed to get the updates from USCIS.
 

I was already thinking of discontinuing his service. Is there a way I can change the case to only be under me so I receive all the updates and continue the rest of the process by myself?

Yes, you can file new form G-28.

I'd talk to lawyer first asking questions I mentioned earlier in the thread. Maybe he has a good reason we don't know about. In theory, the lawyer should know your case better than us who only saw few sentences.
