The big deal with ROC is providing 2 years of continuous evidence of living as a married couple;  Joint bank account with 2 years of statements, utilities in both names, and other bills or services that you can provide 2 years of continuous receipts/billings.

 

^^ After that ROC is pretty straight forward. ^^

Yes.....joint bank statements for the period you have been married.  I have seen people receive RFEs for not including the entire period.

 

This is what we sent.  It might give you some ideas:

For ROC

Apartment lease with both our names & signatures
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
2018 Joint Tax ReturnTax Returns 
Pictures of us on special occasions here in the US.
Car Insurance Cards showing both of us as insured drivers for our car
Boarding Passes for Las Vegas Valentine Day Trip 2019
Utility application showing both our names for our current address

It means for the past 24 months .... 24 copies of as many bank statements, bills, receipts that are in both your names.  < This is the crucial part of ROC (I-751)

Oh gosh. The stress is starting to build up on me again. Thanks for the info Hank..

It is a pain, but it shouldn't be too difficult.  Follow the guides.  For people filing ROC, it ranges from the minimalist (not recommended) to the 3 ream, 15 lb. submission.

 

Most of the bills can be downloaded from billing history.  That makes it easy until you print them out,  Then you find that you have burnt up a 3/4 of a ream of copy paper just on your joint cell phone bill.

 

Good luck

I would include witness statements as well

 

For some reason they like to see that

I saw a video of an immigration lawyer saying he does not recommend including statements from friends unless you are very desperate  or don't  have much evidence.  I came here in the US in a CR1 visa.  I would have to think about that if I need to include a statement from friends .

Id like to see that RFE because that is not what ROC is about.   It's about showing a progession of life together,  not about showing the commingling of the same joint asset 24 times.

 

I didn't do 24 times the same asset in a previous life (approved without interview) and was successful and certainly won't do it this time either

Well in my case it was.

 

When my wife went to do her 10 year GC after the 2 year we were asked to provide witness statements.

 

I set up joint bank account with like $500 in it when she first got here, never used the account just had it for immigration purpose. I put her name on two household bills, one was water and the other one was for cable.

 

I didn't put her on any of my other bank accounts, nothing on any other assets or liabilities.  I believe she provided copies/pic  of trips 2 trips we took together like cruise to DR/Turks & Caicos, and a trips to Mexico we took each anniversary.

 

We got a RFE and they specifically asked for "witness statements" as part of additional evidence
