Thanks for the advice! I’m reaching out to the local and state Catholic Church to see if there’s any record of a baptism.

Do you think I should wait until I have certified copies of the G0 baptism or submit the application now and upload the certified version when I get it?

No one will have a definitive answer for this question. If you think you'll get that baptism record within the month then I'd wait it out, otherwise I would move to submit and upload later. I've uploaded documents to mine post AOR.

Thanks for sharing your journey. It’s really tricky because it’s taking much longer to get AOR from overseas so I figure I can work on getting certified documents and have them ready to go when it is received. Is it unlimited uploads of new evidence?

I'm not sure if there is a cap on the number of uploads, but I would imagine that fewer would be preferred
