My lawyer asked me for 1500 $ after I paid AOS and IV till the interview .i realize that this amount is relatively high as I already paid 1500 $ from filing I 130 till receiving AOS & IV invoices then I paid them online .. Can anyone advice what to do?

It's your lawyer. You have some contractual obligation with your lawyer.

If you not wish to continue paying your lawyer, then you must break the contract between you and him/her.

FWIW, lawyer fees are usually discussed up front, so an additional fee of 1500 is not unreasonable (by lawyer standards).

You should be able to do this on your own, but you might want to see the other Egypt forum members and what they did as compared to the results and time / money involved.
