Middle Loading at NVC stage and CO casefiles

[aditya3245 113]

When submitting in our i-130 Petition, we put together the following documents

IRS Tax Returns for 4 consecutive years

4 car titles and registrations

5 residential leases

32 bank statements

32 credit card statements

50 pages of whatsapp and skype screen captures

50 pages of international calls in the last five months

25 western union money transfers

45 pictures from non marriage events

45 pictures from marriage events

1 wedding invite from back in 2010

All of this went into Lee's Summit and will end up at CSC or TSC (or god forbid Nebraska).

From there, it will be entered into my casefile (or as CIS likes to call it "A-file").

The embassy gets "everything" from the NVC, which I imagine acts as an intermediary between CIS and USCON

Between August of last year (when I submitted all this evidence) and approval (which will be May, as I surmise) - I will churn out even more evidence - more receipts, bills, etc. Should I middle-load this "new evidence" ?

Or will the consular officer (CO) see all of what I submitted with the i-130 petition and that's enough ?

Does CIS send them everything on an alien's casefile electronically ? (Including and not limited to the submission - past history and past records etc)

"Middle loading" at the NVC is up to you. Theoretically, everything you submitted with the I-130 stays with the file. However, things can and do get separated from the file. Once the file is in the hands of the NVC, you can call and see if it's all there or not.

Actual paper files are sent from USCIS to the NVC.

Yjays plenty. Usually only if there's another trip together or forgotten stuff. You submitted all thats covers a relationship. (Tax stuff not needed until NVC).

It's up to you to submit more if you want.

Are you sure about that ? Wouldn't this be electronic ?

So the actual paperfile with everything in it goes from NBC to Service Center to NVC ?

Does it also go in paper format to USCON as well ?

Does the CO look at everything submitted with the i-130 PLUS older petitioner history ?

Now assuming I want to middle load and how everybody uses DS-260 how would one upload a pdf that contains evidence of bona fide marriage ?

Is this done on the CEAC web site ?

Only the DS-260 is submitted electronically, the civil documents that go with still have to be mailed to the NVC. Any additional evidence you want to include would accompany the civil documents.
