AOS evidence of relationship

[billding 59]

So I've read the guide on here as well as the USCIS website.

 

Is my understanding correct that the evidence of relationship (joint accounts, mortgage, etc.) is for the interview and not for the filing of I485?

 

Is there such a thing as frontloading (like in the K1)? I'm just a little confused because I've seen some posts where they send the evidence with the i485.

You can front load if you have the evidence available but there is no huge benefit to delay the filing since every applicant has an interview 

 

In the olden days when k1s didn't routinely have interviews, the answer may have been a little different

No reason to front load. You have a 99.9999% chance of being interviewed whether you front load or not. 

Your I485 application will not get adjudicated or approved before you have an interview (unlike the I129F).

The I485 will only be reviewed for completeness of the REQUIRED documents. The only required marriage evidence is photocopies of the Marriage Certificate.

It's not really "frontloading" in this case IMO. It's just providing supporting evidence.

It's not needed, but personally I would send at least a couple things that USCIS has not seen before (even if it was before the actual marriage).

I know the IO we had that did our K-1 based interview read our packet beforehand (she said so) and was very friendly. Other than re-reading a couple questions from the I-485, she asked 2 simple questions and that was it.

Correct.  Bring all your evidence to the interview, as it's not required to frontload with the application.  And be sure to bring plenty of evidence, to include a lot of pics together.
