Yup I remember you as well..and yes we are trying our best to make sure to include every little detail in our package so that they can waive our interview without any issues. :) I hope our extensive list will help u guys as well. Please let us know if we missed anything or forgot anything to include in here. Also we were confused as how to organize our pacakage. We got separate folders and packed separate sections in them but then we read more about it n decided to just include everything together separated by binder clips. ( Thats how we did k1 n AOS package). Let us know how you guys are organizing your pacakage too.

Best of luck to everyone filing this month!

I think your list seems quite comprehensive.  Ours lacks the recent travel/photos due to Covid and the fact that we don't seem to take pictures of ourselves, lol.

 

As far as organizing, I plan to use the optional checklist on USCIS as an order to place documents, along with a cover letter/index, and binder clips for the different sections, since they don't prefer staples.

 

Today I'm busy printing out joint utility account statements......tedious work!

So we decided to take it out on printer paper in chronological order staring from marriage.

Also we are in including them in front of each vacation pacakage. For eg. Year 2019 location - whatever place u went and then pictures of that place in A4 paper and then bills and hotel booking from that location.

Also some pics we are sending in a Ziplock bag in front.

Yes, that is normal for tax transcripts. The transcripts also include the last 4 of both social security numbers so it is enough identifying information. We have always used tax transcripts for immigration stuff and it hasn't been an issue. I believe USCIS prefers them over tax returns as well.
