Any thoughts on submitting additional evidence on pending I-751 application without a RFE? We had a baby after filing and bought a home. Our attorney suggested this, but I read some forums advising against submitting additional document without an RFE

I'm curious to know what the consensus is.

Don't send additional evidence without receiving a RFE. More likely than not they are going to get lost before getting the chance to be added to your initial file. If you happen to go to an interview later on bring the additional evidence with you.

There are instructions on the extension letter for making inquiries, essentially you just need to make sure your receipt number is included.  I've seen some reports of additional documentation making it to the adjudicator's file.  That being said, the RFE's are so random, that you might as well just wait. I've seen people get RFE's after sending in 5 pounds of good evidence, and people that provided almost nothing haven't even had an interview.

Thanks. We did send in 5lbs of evidence but it did include a lot of pictures which isnt really good evidence. I honestly rather get a RFE and load em up with another 2 or 3lbs of paperwork than have to do an interview. We will wait. Its good to be prepared in case they do 😋
