i do not think i have a copy

How many months of phone and utility bills?

 almost 2 years

How many bank statements? 

 almost 2 years

What about eills, living wills, adding each other's as beneficiaries on all accounts (pension, retirement, savings, etc.) ?

that we do not have.

No reason not to do it now, especially setting each other's as beneficiaries is easy and free.

As it states, you need "evidence you and your spouse have resided together and shared responsibility for a common residence"  Here is what we sent for my wife's ROC.  Maybe it will give you some ideas.  

 

Apartment lease with both our names & signatures
Periodic Joint bank checking acct statements since wife's arrival in June 2017.
Deed for new home with both our names
Mortgage Lender Letter with both our names.
Credit Cards showing both on joint account with same card number.
Amazon delivery label showing both names and our current address.
Wife's Military Dependent ID card showing me as the sponsor.
Tricare Eligibility Letter showing both of us together.
Military pay statement showing wife as my benefic.
Texas Health Care Directives appointing each other as sole health care proxy(Advanced Directives)
Our Texas driver's licenses with same address for both of us

Pictures of us on special occasions here in the US.

Removal of conditions is something which takes planning from the time a green card is issued.....

And yet, you cannot remember exactly what was originally sent, so you really have no choice but to send everything again.

This is a pretty solid set of documents. I am sorry you have to go through this.

In my opinion, I would send the whole set of documents again. Even though the RFE says do not send again what you have already sent, it is impossible to know what do they actually have. Did they misplace any of the documents? - impossible to know unless they tell you what they have.

 

If it helps, I would consider organizing the evidence like this:

 

Exhibit A: co-habitation - joint deed of property or lease

Exhibit B: co-mingling of finances - bank statements, utility bills

Exhibit C : shared responsibility of liabilities - tax returns, credit card statements, auto, home insurance

Exhibit D : life planning - healthcare proxy, wills, account beneficiary for life insurance, retirement plans

Exhibit E: shared life so far- vacations together with photos and travel, hotel tickets if they show both names etc

 

Some pooh pooh the list and organizing as not required. But in my opinion it helped me with AoS.

 

Include the complete bank statements or lease document and not the just a few pages.

 

All the best and please let us know what happens.

Best practice says you should always scan to your computer, the files you are planning on sending in. That way you are sending the scanned documents (which you can always print again if you need to), and you can file the original.

 

In my file cabinet is a folder about 4 inches thick, which holds all my documents. This way, when I go to file my N-400, I'll have everything I need at my fingertips.

 

I suggest you get, at the very least, an accordion style folder, so you can start keeping track of your hard copy documents.

Don't trust your computer to hold all your evidence. I've seen way too many computer crashes in my day to not have backups, and backups of my backups. Print what you can, and have that handy.

 

Good luck!

I wouldn't put it past USCIS to have lost or misplaced your documents. They did misplace some of my documents at my AOS interview. The same might have happened here.
