That is a lot of stuff...

I only sent the required things from the USCIS homepage and no additional proof. I didn't have bank account or joint lease or anything like that. How should somebody have that after being married for 2 weeks? And I read that only high-fraud country beneficiaries should really send pics, chat logs and stuff like that... Plus a lot of my e-mails are kind of, uhm well lets say "spicy", and sometimes half German. Also we developed a goofy slang language and call each other strange names, I think USCIS might think we are a little crazy...

But thanks anyways for posting this... It's interesting in case I should receive a RFE and they request more evidence (where on earth is the "knock on wood"- smiley??)

I think the reason I sent so much is because I did have a bit of an advantage over most people as I was in America, for 3 months, with no job! The only way to entertain myself was to keep gathering proof, and honestly I did go overboard!

I agree about the USCIS thinking youre crazy comment! When I look through some of our chats, I think we're crazy!!!!

Oh my...I am kinda wishing I joined this forum before sending our I130. I followed the instructions literally and only sent the required docs. apart from 2 letters of affidavit from family who witnessed the ceremony, boarding passes from visits since wedding & phone bills. I have a TON of other stuff I could have sent but oh well! Guess we'll see in the next couple of months what happens?! Best of luck to you in your next phase Amy...I am interested in how things move along for you since I am not far behind you =)
