Bonafide marriage evidences I-130
Hello everyone! A few days ago I sent my lawyer some PDFs with evidences so that she could check them out and tell me her opinion. I did not tell her to upload them to the USCIS website but she did anyways without telling me nothing. I found out today when I told her that I was gonna send her more evidences that I wanted to upload and she told me that “we should not upload new evidences every month, it should be done max once every 6 months”. Again, I didn’t ask her to upload the PDFs in the first place, and now she is advising me not to upload anything else in the next 6 months saying I should have done that before. What should I do? The evidences are affidavit of support that we didn’t upload in the beginning, so I believe they are pretty useful to me and my husband’s case. #i-130 #bonafidemarriageevidences

I uploaded evidence throughout my 15 + wait time. It is not a problem.
Also thank you for reminding me why I didn’t use a lawyer lol 😆

I get where you’re coming from—it’s frustrating when things don’t go exactly how you planned. But honestly, if you hired a lawyer, part of that is trusting her to use her judgment on when and how to submit evidence. She’s likely following a strategy based on experience, even if she didn’t communicate everything perfectly. That said, it would’ve been better if she clarified her intentions before uploading, and if you wanted to stay more hands-on, that should’ve been clear from the start. At this point, maybe have an open convo with her to reset expectations moving forward. You’re both working toward the same goal. is not that you can’t upload evidence, is the fact that her being a lawyer she wants to make sure the case doesn’t look disorganized being that she’s the one representing you. she should also communicate better as far what she needs from you and do one upload that covers you guys and acts as sufficient evidence to strengthen your case. is not how much you upload, is what you upload that matters.

nice one. we never used a lawyer and I uploaded throughout the whole process and was approved early in the 15months bench mark.
@AD communicate effectively with your lawyer. and also lawyers are not god.
