This is where my doubt is from. Many people have only shared updated documents,  as far as I read, others included also the past ones. Fortunately, I already have all the past documents ready at hand, only need to print them.
I'll send both, just to be sure I will follow what they say. 

That's the approach I took too (to try to avoid a potential RFE) and included everything since marriage.

I finally filled on 02/21 and they recieved the paperworks the day after. Here whay my hisband and I included in the package:

 

- Joint car financing, car insurance, car title

- Statement from our condominium proving that we are registred in the same condo unit

- most recent HOA statements

- 2022 Tax return

- Health insurance beneficiaries 

- Tons of pictures of trips taken together (about 10 trips), of both legal and religious wedding,  of parties with friends updated to 2023

- recipts of many reservations/flight tickets purchased togheter 

- 3 different affidavits from long time friends with supporting photos

- Different reciepts of services/goods purchased, showing both our names

- Certificate of legal/religious wedding

- 2-pages statement telling how we met, about our relationship

- Parking lot account showing that is under my name but payments are done through husband's bank account

 

Do you think I sent a reasonable of solid proofs? Thank you, Lilly

It doesn't appear that you included evidence from date of marriage.  I would be prepared just in case you get an RFE.

Yep, I did. Most of the pictures together covers from when we met up to now. 
Also, car financing and insurance were done after marriage. Same for other items mentioned in the list

Only 1 tax return?

Yes, since I moved to US only in 2020 (we were married before this time) and in 2021 we did not file jointly. 

[Crazy Cat 41,587]

Oh, wait!  I think we sent only 1 tax return, too.  LOL!!!  Good luck.  Maybe you won't have to interview.

The date should be on the certificate (???)

I said SINCE marriage such as bank statements from marriage to present date, etc.   These questions are better asked before filing.

Alright of course. Seems I got this wrong - sorry.
