I-130 adding information

[Duffield 3]

I already submitted my I-130 4 months ago and I have been reading that people have been getting denied due to lack of evidence. Can I somehow continue to add more evidence as it becomes available? All I had in there was 4 memorandoms from people that know the both of us. I did not add any pictures, or health insurance information. It is currently actively being reviewed. Thanks in advance for any information.

affadavits or memorandoms hold little or no value

best evidence is time spent together and that can be after the I 130 is sent

U should have added some photos 

YOU may get an RFE for more evidence or CO could ask for more at the interview

We can not say as we don't know your case,  time together and all that is involved

Thank you very much for the information. I will add some pictures.

Perhaps this guide might help:

I suggest adding much more evidence at the NVC stage, after the petition is approved.  You can upload more evidence at that time to CEAC as a PDF file in the "other documents" category.  If all you sent were four affidavits, you will need more supporting documents if you want to increase your chances of success at the interview.  Some have taken evidence to the visa interview and the officer does not look at it, their decision is often made prior to the interview.  So prepare more evidence to side-load at the NVC stage--photos of the couple, evidence of time spent together such as original boarding passes, passport stamps, hotel receipts, and financial co-mingling such as joint IRS tax return transcripts, joint bank account and credit card statements, beneficiary on health insurance, life insurance, retirement accounts, power of attorney, wills, living wills, etc.  Good luck!

We added our child’s birth certificate as a strong piece of evidence while our case was being actively reviewed. Just uploaded it under “additional documents” if I remember correctly. Wasn’t a problem at all, but still took almost another 4 months until we got NOA 2. Not sure if it mattered because we had been married for 8 years and living together stateside and abroad.
Just add the additional evidence now. You got nothing to lose. Good luck!

Thank you all for the extra information. I will have to work on uploading some more pictures.
