Filed while pregnant

[G_18 3]

When I filed for my husband I was pregnant, I sent a letter from doctor that shows proof of pregnancy to show them we are having a child soon and to also show bona fide marriage. Would that be a problem?

No it won’t be a problem but pregnancy/children are not seen as evidence of a bonafide relationship, so it won’t carry any weight.

Oh ok, thanks 

I sent in a ton of evidence of bona fide marriage such as marriage certificate, marriage entry, wedding invitation card, wedding pictures, pictures of us together, passport stamps of my travels to him.. so I just sent the pregnancy proof as additional evidence. I just figured I had the paper from the doctor why not just sent it in.

It won’t do any harm but the other documentation is what they are looking for.

What other documentation? 
Do you mean the birth certificate of our child since they know I’m pregnant

No. There wasn't a birth certificate when the I-130 was filed since the birth hadn't occurred yet.

For couples that have children before filing it's not strong evidence, but USCIS still recommends to include the birth certificates per page 7 of the I-130 instructions: https://www.uscis.gov/system/files_force/files/form/i-130instr.pdf

Marriage certificates, travel documents, photographs, joint bills etc... that’s the stuff they need to see...

 

Yes, while being pregnant is subsidiary evidence it only proves you had sex, at least once... not a relationship.. sorry, to put it bluntly
