Cover Letter for K-1 - how detailed?

[<3T&M<3 217]

I am writing my Cover Letter and I am going into very explicit detail. Should I be this detailed? My cover page is getting VERY long.....

 

This is how I am doing it.

4. Describe the Circumstances of your in-person meeting, Page 8. Part 2. Item 54. (2 pages)

5. Proof of Meeting (16 pages):

             a. Document A blah blah blah

             b. ......

             c.

             all the way through the sixteen pages.

 

As well as this:

6. Evidence of Relationship (23 pages) (Optional - not required)

a. Petitioner’s Letter documenting relationship (2 pages)

b. Document A: blah blah blah

              c.

d.....

all the way through 23 pages.

Mine will be like 3... probably two long for a cover PAGE (singular) ?? lol

Mine was simple and easy to follow

 

I also didn't include a extra letter or sheet to explain how we met.

 

I just filled in the blanks provided on the I-129f and USCIS was always good with that.

Primary evidence is the focus. Relationship evidence is not required with the petition.  A simple sentence on how you met is all that is needed.  Two pages is overboard.  100's of pictures and skype logs will be ignored because ongoing relationship is met at the Embassy not the USCIS.  My petition evidence was barely 20 pages with over half being the divorce decree

My partner and I didn’t file anything other than the i129f, due to the fact that I hadn’t discovered this forum yet and everything I had read had been about people taking all of their evidence to the Embassy interview with them 🙄. So here we are, waiting for and RFE for everything. They accepted the file though, so I guess that’s a good thing. 

We are both so annoyed, we checked multiple times before we sent but because we read the incorrect information first that is what we based our checks on. Nightmare.
