Number of joint bank statements?

[racheluk-us 0]

I'm putting together my I-130 packet for my husband (Portuguese, living with me in the UK). 

We've had a joint bank account since 2018, so I'm using statements from it as "Additional proof of marriage". 

I've seen a number of different suggestions about how many bank statements to send, and 60 statements seems like too many. 

How many joint bank statements did you send?
Have you had reliable advice on a good rule-of thumb?

Thanks!

Early, mid, and latest statement should be fine. I would use no more than 3.

Not an I-130, but for removing conditions to prove marriage so same purpose.

I sent four—earliest, middle-ish, most recent.

My common sense told me if it has the same two names, same bank, and the same account number then that account existed continuously for the whole time. Statements from every month seemed redundant to me and would just clutter up the application.

Hi, my wife (USC) and me (Dutch) have a Dutch joint bank account and we filed 3 periods: start, mid, end.

3 months of transactions in each period seems more than enough.
