IR-1/CR-1 relationship proof?

[DirtyHarry 5]

I have already filed the I-130 on 2nd Aug 2013. I sent marriage pictures as relationship proof , copy of marriage certificate and other proofs as part of front loading. Now I will be sending the documents to the NVC. At what stage do I need to provide additional proof of my relationship? The NVC documents do not require any proof. When do I send the albums, receipts and stamps of travel and everything else? Or is this supposed to be shown at the consulate?

Thanks in advance,

Harry

If you want to submit additional relationship evidence at the NVC stage, include it with the civil documents that are submitted with the immigrant visa application package.

Is that normal though to submit evidence at NVC stage? Or should i have submitted everything I had along with the initial I-130 application?

To get the semantics out of the way, an I-130 is a petition form, not an application form.

While most, if not all evidence is submitted with the I-130 at the time of initial filing, it's not uncommon to throw in additional evidence at the NVC stage that may have been forgotten earlier.

If there is something that you want a CO to see prior to the interview, then this is your last chance to include it in the file. At interview time, a CO may not ask to see anything and may even pass it back without so much as a cursory glance if you were to pass it across unasked.

Thanks, Ryan. I will wait and watch. I did submit pictures, wedding card and proof of my relationship. I don't know if it was enough. I will find out. I am waiting for a response from the USCIS California office.
