Hello Feb filers !    Did anyone submit EXTRA evidence ?   The last question before the REVIEW app.    In pressing the NEXT button I get the scary yellow box reminder saying I could be slowing down by application.   I have uploaded all my required evidence, but I am not sure what EXTRA would be recommended.   Any suggestions of what they are looking for to speed things along and smooth the waters here ?    I am a March filer.

I've submitted a document telling that I am working as an engineer here in Austin, bla bla bla, that I bought a house and bla bla bla and I sent pictures of my son with all his grandparents and a picture with the whole family (including my sister-in-law + her husband, my parents, my in-laws and my dog) in our backyard.

5-year rule filer here: at first I didn't but then I added a pic of my driver's license, my lease that's 2.5 years old and latest electricity bill (as proof of address), and for now the last 3 years of taxes (will add 2023 once we've filed, and in the process of requesting the oldest by mail since it can't be done online, for 5 years total).

You can add documents through your online profile anytime you want. Not required but I thought why not.
