My wife is a Pakistani applicant being processed at LVO, and from what I'm seeing, it's common for them to ask for more proof of relationship just to ensure that communication is ongoing. So there's a chance that they'll ask me to submit more proof as well, but I want to avoid any delays where I can. Is it a good idea to submit more proof voluntarily, or should I wait until they ask?

According to LVO's current trend, they will not begin processing my wife's application until the last week of May or the first week of June.

If you think you have not submitted sufficient relationship proofs, you can send them additional evidences to strengthen your application. Did you get your GCMS notes to know if there is any red flag?

I was thinking the same but i don't have the proof of visit to pakistan i am just having communication and financial support proof so i was thinking to wait for few months to get the visit proof as well and to submit them. but i am worried that if they asked me before the visit than on one side, i will not be having the proof of visit and secondly my application will face delays because of the document request.

I have read many people saying not to submit additional information without request, but I think if you have it, go ahead and send it. Either they accept it, or they don't. I sent additional photos, passport stamps, airplane tickets, etc via email during our processing. I never received any email reply regarding what I sent, but it does show that you are communicating/ visiting since you have applied!

i sent in some chat logs, pictures, travel docs etc through email. like flx2015 said i was afraid what if they happen to not get em & request em later, id stil have the "hardcopy" of those docs to send again. FedEx is very costly tho, sh*t goes 'bov 100 bucks for int'l shipping. :-X
i really dont wanna bother FedExing em cause i aint got no spare cash layin around atm to in the scenario they do actually get em by email & just happen to not send corespondance as ur mentioning... :D
im just gonna wait & order notes sometime mid june if DM doesnt pop in.

Yes a lot of people don't send more, I just happened to be emailing them the updates they asked for so I attached those at the same time.

My wife and I applied in February and I visited her at the end of March and we vacationed in Bali. My wife sent all of the additional proofs mid April to Singapore VO in a package with the app number and a cover letter asking it be added to our file. Rather send it without them asking than have them ask for an interview.

I have tons of old and new evidence i.e. joint credit card statements , Phone bills , Pictures , gift receipts , outings receipts , 2 more visits to Mexico and much more , But I'm thinking to wait for them to ask for it wish they need more evidence .
I'm my notes there is no mention of anything good or bad about the Quantity /Quality of the proof of relationship I sent .


I might send them all together with her new passport's copy ( expires thins coming June ) .

Not knowing if they would actually request more proof instead of just throwing our file in the interview queue, as we had a few things that could be perceived as red flags, we decided to just send it anyways. With Singapore being notorious as one of the toughest VO's we figured it couldn't hurt to send it. Also we knew that if we have an interview that that is when they'd likely ask for new proofs. We also had to update an error on my wife's form so we sent along all of the boarding passes from our trip, hotel, restaurant, shopping, and outing reciepts, more pics, and more money transfer reciepts with it.

I think that is a good way to decide whether to send in more proof. If you are applying through a notoriously difficult office, especially if you have a few red flags, send more. At worst, it will make no difference. At best, it might help you avoid an interview.
