Hello! Please do you think I can upload my tax transcript after interview date has been scheduled?

Of course you can. Also, make your own topic next time.

Thank you. I made my own topic and didn’t get a reply that was why I asked under his.

I was thinking they won’t review it because I’ve been dq’d.

They won’t review it but they will see it. So it will be “submitted”, but never turn into “accepted” the way your other documents did.
 

Proof that they see it: When people go to interviews, and they get the 221G asking for a missing document, the consul tells them to send it by courier AND upload the missing document to CEAC.

Okay, thank you so much for your reply 🙏🏻

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.

I am genuinely confused as to why you want to upload more stuff if you’ve already been DQed.

I think certain embassies require additional documents at the interview.

Yeah, but just have the spouse bring it to the interview.

This thread is over two years old. I explained what I did back in 2021 and don't have anything else to add at this point.
