Usually, it's not very important. The I-130 is used for other cases where such information is more important. For a spouse visa, not so much.

I am a little confused about your answer,thank you so much for answering by the way.im not sure what you meant did you mean that the fact that we are Marred front loading our petition is not as important, as if we where not marred.thanks again.I have alot of information to prove that our union is bona fide.i was planning on bringing it to the interview.Do you think they will send an RFE for more information.Thank you so much..

Whether front loading is advised is case dependent. Newlyweds usually don't have much in the way of evidence of bona fides to include. The list of, "in addition to the required" (read NOT required) evidence is primarily for people using the I-130 as part of an adjustment of status from within the US or couples living together abroad. Newlyweds and most visa cases where the couple is not yet living together provide their evidence of bona fide relationship at the interview.

Is there something about your case that makes you think you needed extra evidence at the petition stage? If not, leave it to your lawyer. I doubt it's his first rodeo.

Hello,i'm in the same case,we married in august and filed the I 130 in october,our lawyer did not ask us any proof of bone fide marriage, when she send the papers so i was a little worried about that,but now i figured it out like PUSHBRK is saying that the proof are not necessary for newlyweds,so we should be just fine

The same thing happened to me. I got married July and sent my petition in October without any proof because it didn't say required. I freaked out of course, once I read how others sent proof and was worried about getting an RFE. I'm not so worried now, and even if we do get an RFE, I had proof from the beginning, I just didn't send it in because I thought it was required during the interview. If I get an RFE I'm ready for them!
