I dont think you need the copy of tax returns until you get send your I-864. Someone correct me if I am wrong. Doesnt matter for me, cuase I have none. uhhh.

I am getting my packet ready as we speak. You have a ton of evidence.

How do you copy text message. We have probably 1 million texts from the last few years.

We are using a lot of our communication through different Apps, like Line, Skype, WeChat, and another one called Between...then we have emails of course.

We dont have a lot of our phone calls together since majority of our calls is through facetime. I had to take snap shot of my phone on all our facetime. And details as much as possible.

Im still trying to figure out if my packet is enough.

No just a photocopy for the I-130

If you are a USC you only need a birth certificate (proving birth in the USA) or your entire passport. There is zero need to prove your residence in the USA at this time.
