Bank Statement Copies on Initial Filing of I-485

[OhShush 25]

Hi, my wife and I are on the process of putting all the required documents for her initial filing of I-485  (with i-130, i-130a, i-765, and i-131) through marriage. She's currently on F-1 status and we have joint bank account. Now I wonder how much bank statements shall we include in the initial filing? We've had our joint bank account for almost 2 years now. Do I have to print out all of them (6 pages each statement) or just the front page where it shows our address? Thank you.

Just to give a starting answer, I am not sure if they would need all 6 pages, but the page I guess that is most important would be the one that shows both your names, address and the starting and ending amount that is in the account at the end of each month. You would probably need statements for the last 12 months because they may average it out. That's my best answer. Hope it helps.
