US Immigration from Ecuador

Our case was just Documentarily Qualified at NVC today. My goal was to submit the required documents immediately as a way to get in line for an interview ASAP, and now I am wondering how to best handle additional relationship evidence.

I submitted a lot of quality evidence with the initial petition, but since that time have been gathering some additional evidence, mostly of visits to see my wife that happened after the initial submission.

Originally I was planning to prepare the additional evidence for my wife to take to the interview, but recently I have read about "side-loading" this information by submitting it to NVC.

It appears that CEAC still allows uploads even after everything shows as Accepted, and there is a category for "Other" in the Civil Documents section where presumably things like additional relationship evidence could go.

So my questions are:

1. Would uploading any additional documents on CEAC after being Documentarily Qualified affect our DQ status?
2. If the answer to (1) is "no", could I upload additional documents up until the case is transferred to the Consulate for interview?

If anything, I would consider doing this after my next visit (at the end of next month), and the evidence would mostly be boarding passes + a few photos from the visits that happened since filing the I-130. If going that route then she would still take the evidence to the interview, but the idea would be that "side-loading" would make it more likely to actually be reviewed.

I say that because my wife and I previously went through the K1 process and I had prepared additional evidence that she took with her to that interview (at the same Consulate) which I don't think anyone ever looked at. For that visa, the NVC stage worked differently so this idea of uploading additional evidence is new to me.

I'm not concerned about our case not being approved, but as long as I'm going to prepare the evidence anyway, it's worth thinking about the best time to present it.

When we review the status of our ioe (https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do) it comes out that it is in Nebraska, even when we log in to our uscis account it is in Nebraska

but on the paper says that it is in Potomac.

Anyone in the group who has submitted their form i13o between october and have their ioe confirmation has the same error?

The Part 21 thread reached closure size in record time, chiefly because of many approvals and positive reports. May those both continue in this thread!

Hi!! I am new to the group, I was wondering if among the members of the group there are people who have entered the United States with a Tourist Visa after having started the process for the CR1 (in my case I received the NOA1 in OCT 2020)? Is it possible to visit my husband while the process lasts?

Greetings Fellow Members,

So my situation is a little more difficult, aka red tape and other matters, than the average story here. I am engaged to a Venezuelan lady living in Ecuador on a Humanitarian Visa. We had planned to get married last year while i was in Ecuador but then the pandemic hit, embassies were closed, other problems arose, and i returned to the USA unwed to her. We had decided it would be easier and cheaper to be wed in Ecuador but now that didn't happen and i overstayed my tourist visa in Ecuador due to the pandemic, therefore; i'm waiting to hear when i will be allowed back in Ecuador if we decide to get married there. So her Visa is now due this year and the cost of it has gone up a ton. She doesn't want to pay for it to stay in Ecuador due to being unhappy there and the hopes of us being together here in the USA. She says there also is a small window for the documents before they expire of the ones she gets from Venezuela to be used in regards to us getting married in Ecuador. WIth all that's happening with our situation, i'm not sure what the best option is anymore. Get married in Ecuador, apply for a K1-visa, or another option that i haven't thought of? Thanks in advance for everyone's advice and recommendations.
