You can upload additional evidence of a bona fide relationship at the NVC stage digitally.  I just went through this process a few months ago, and we created a PDF document of evidence of trips together and financial co-mingling since filing the petition and uploaded it with the other required documents via CEAC, as an "additional document."   Some call this "side-loading."  Make sure the additional document is reduced size, within their maximum guidelines, or it will be rejected.  Good luck!

Even back in late 2016 and early 2017, items had to be mailed to NVC.......

Us EB folk still get to physically mail the documents in. Not sure if its actually a benefit as I had documents reviewed within 2 days of arrival at NVC!
