I-751 Package. Here's what we got. Anything to add

Hello everyone. My wife and I are beginning the process of removing conditions on GC in October. We recently moved from Dallas to NY (sold the house there and rented in NY) and we're not sure if this move a month and a half before we file I 751 will raise any unfounded suspicions. I've been unemployed since June 2012 when I finished grad school and my mom passed away from cancer this spring across the ocean. It's been a couple of hard years and we decided to move for a change (also not many photos in these past months of mourning).

We compiled a list of what we have so far and are looking to see if we missed anything. Would you add anything else or take out? Too little or too much? Looking for some encouragement here...of course this is just to make us feel better or worse (depending on what scary comments we get). We thought the Adjustment of Status is stressful but it seems this is not any easier.

Thanks.

It looks fine, as long as everything spans the period of your marriage. Affidavits are suggested for those whose other evidence is thin, so you needn't include those.

A lot of folks overlook including Wills, medical Powers of Attorney, HIPAA releases, etc. That kind of evidence is excellent.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

Ditto...it's not clear that all your evidence spans the entire period of your marriage, and it must or they will likely bounce it back to you for more evidence.
