Hello! I am currently working on my husbands I-130 so I can file for him as soon as possible.  I have decided to file online and so far it has been pretty straightforward and simple.  I am nearing the end and I am confused on what or if I need to upload anything in these sections.  It is the Additional Evidence page where it mentions religious records/school records/census records/affidavits/dna results. I am only filing for my spouse, no children and he has never lived or been a resident in the United States.  Any help or advice is greatly appreciated :). Thank you!!!

And to expand on that, optional as in those things are only needed if the beneficiary did not have a valid birth certificate.

Spouse beneficiary birth certificates are not asked for when filing the I-130, but those do appear to be optional documents when the preferred document is missing.

Facts are cheap...knowing how to use them is precious...
Understanding the big picture is priceless. Anonymous

Thank you! Just received my NOA today and I included his birth certificate just in case so here goes nothing!

I filed it under the additional evidence section as it is not required when filing. But since I had it I went ahead and added it :)
