You may upload more than 5 documents, just not at the same time because the system is glitchy/laggy.  Also make sure that each document is within the file size limit (6MB, IIRC).

On the online application it says 12MB for everything, so I assume it has gone up. Thanks for you help.

Hi, I am a new member of this forum. Me and my wife are recently married and are hoping to get a CR1 visa for myself (UK citizen living in the UK). She is a USC citizen and living in the US. I have a few questions regarding the initial stage of this process (I-130 form):

·       I (the beneficiary and UK citizen) was arrested in the US while a student on a J1 a few years ago. The charges were not so serious and certainly would not be CIMT's or fall under the Adam Walsh act. The case was dismissed, and I have since had it expunged in the state it occurred in. However, we know these records remain available to immigration forever. Do we need to do anything at the i-130 stage regarding this or do we completely avoid it until the NVC stage? There are no sections on the i-130 or i-130a regarding criminal records.

·       I’ve seen forums about filing the K3 while the i-130 is in processing to speed up the response time for the i-130 for the CR1. Should we file this at the same time as the i-130 or do we wait to file the K3 later? When is the optimal time to submit the K3?

·       It says on the additional proof of marriage page to upload no more than 5 documents at a time. Does this mean I can only upload 5 documents maximum or can I upload more than 5 but have to just make sure not to upload all of them at the same time?

Many thanks
