Uploading "unsolicited evidence" after I-130 online submission

[scaredCat 0]

Greetings VJ people, 

I already submitted I-130 online for my foreign spouse.

I just found a receipts for our vacations with my spouse (hotel reservations, activity tickets, and flights etc). I think they can be good to use as relationship evidence.

Is there any harm of risk/downside of uploading this under "unsolicited document" section in our I130 case?

 

Would or have you do this?

 

Thanks.

We had almost exactly that situation.  A bunch of receipts, pictures, flights, etc, from a trip we had taken.  Really high quality, strong evidence.  I actually thought I had uploaded it with the original submission, but reviewing it a month later discovered I had not.  So I uploaded it to unsolicited evidence a month late.  About two weeks after that, my I-130's were approved in record time.  I have no way of knowing if the late uploads had any positive impact or if they were even reviewed at all, but it most certainly had no downsides or negative impact on our case.

After a former ISO did an q&a on reddit last year, my new conclusion (

) is there is only upside assuming you correctly upload.

 

There is no downside, even if you incorrectly upload.

 

The same is true if you decide to mail the evidence.
