No this is joint application. I meant from my previous marriage do I need to submit a divorce decree with the application

No.  
 

That will be needed for N-400.  
 

If you don’t have an original of the decree, use this time to get one.

I bought the house 2 years before we were married. Is it ok if I explain in the cover letter that this is why my husband's name is not on the deed? We are supplying plenty of other evidence to show that we live at the same address.

This is exactly what we did. I've owned my house for many years before I met my husband and the mortgage was paid off long ago. We included the insurance declarations page with his name on it and a note to explain. We're still awaiting approval, so I can't tell how well it worked out, but we  did the same thing with AOS and had no problem.

Since  you’ve been living together since I-485 i don’t  think they are valuable 

[Marieke H 2,496]

I think your list of evidence includes a lot of "fluff" that may make it difficult for the officer to find the real, strong evidence.

 

Focus on things that show:

1. That you live together in marital union;

2. That you comingle your finances.

 

So anything that shows both of your names (bills, subscriptions, insurance, etc) and anything that shows joint financial responsibilities (bank statements with both of your incomes, household expenses, etc) should be included. Things like evidence of his business or an insurance claim don't really prove anything.

 

Focus on quality, not quantity. Go through your evidence and ask yourself what each piece of evidence is telling USCIS. Get rid of the fluff, and focus on the strong evidence. You have plenty of good evidence.

 

For my ROC, bank statements were my main evidence, because it showed two incomes coming in and all of our expenses (rent, groceries, utilities, etc) going out. I added some utility bills that were in both of our names, and some insurance policies and a copy of our lease. That's it. No pictures, text messages, affidavits, or other fluff. Just some strong documents that clearly show that we live together and that we share our finances. My ROC was approved without an RFE and without an interview.

That’s all evidence I have now what do you think I should take of?
