DS-230, what to include?

[spn1025 38]

Reading the guides, I know I have to include the following:

- Bar-coded cover sheet from payment portal

- Completed, signed, and dated DS-230 form by beneficiary (do NOT sign or date part 2; this is done at the interview) [note: if doing online forms (DS-260), the DS-230 is obviously not needed]

- Two passport-style photographs (2" x 2") of beneficiary (on the back, write: beneficiary's full name, date of birth, and case number)

- Copy of bio-data page of beneficiary's unexpired passport

- Original or Certified Copy of beneficiary's birth certificate, PLUS A PHOTOCOPY

- Original or Certified Copy of marriage certificate, PLUS A PHOTOCOPY

- Original police certificate(s)

My question is, do I also have to include stuff like chat logs, pictures of us together, copies of flight tickets, etc?

Proof of relationship is optional with the IV package. Some people do it from MENA countries as they have a tougher interview and the CO needs to see the evidence before the interview takes place as they tend to make their decision before even interviewing the beneficiary.
