thanks for the replies. When we submitted in feb with the lawyer we were close to my 90days on a tourist visa. We didn't have the medical or bonafied evidence ready at that point and our lawyer said thats fine, its better to submit to be protected from overstay and then send the documents in later. We have already had one RFE for a birth certificate to be resubmitted. We had all our medical and evidence ready at that point but the lawyer still suggested waiting. Fixed fee not by hours for payment. He came highly recommended.

Thanks for the advice. My gut is saying whats the harm to submit the bona-fied now online? I don't see how that can do anything negative to the case? If we wanted to now also send in our medical, that must be done via post i assume? If the medical is a requirement for approval then there will almost certainly be a RFE anyway...

It to me would seem logical to send things in now - especially with the online USCIS platform for unsolicited evidence. I trust the lawyers do this day in and day out, so perhaps know more about the process we may not be seeing, that is why we hired one. It would just be useful to know that if it is the case!

Thanks for responses everyone. I asked our lawyer again and he advised again to wait before sending in evidence as sometimes they don't ask for bona-fied evidence? sounds against what i'm reading on here though. We didn't have anything beyond the marriage certificate and required forms prepared when doing our initial submission, which is currently what the USCIS has on us. Thanks

We haven't had a rationale as such - more of a description that this is the process. Our case is with the NBC currently and we have been advised to wait until its with the local office. Can bonafied marriage evidence + medicals be sent to USCIS before then

Hi all, My wife and I have submitted for a AOS green card from within the USA. We originally submitted all of the required documentation with our initial application in Feb 2023, including the marriage licence / birth certificates etc. What we did not submit at that time was the medical report or the evidence of a bona-fied marriage as these weren't ready. Since submitting at the end of Feb 2023, we have had one RFE for a scanned birth certificate and the biometrics appointment scheduled and completed. Our lawyer has been great so far but is advising us to wait until a RFE of a bonafied marriage and medical comes from the local field office vs sending these documents in earlier / through the uscis online portal. Would that sound like the best case? Reading on here, it sounds like waiting for any RFE slows everything down. Thanks very much
