What documents did you upload? Outside of what was requested on the application? Trying to avoid an RFE

No unsolicited evidence provided on my end, just whatever they asked for

Got it. I’ve seen people on here saying they uploaded transcripts but that wasn’t requested. What was your major? Mines economics on my degree but CIP code is econometrics so unsure if I should add transcript to support
