I'm the US citizen and my spouse is a Japanese citizen currently living in Japan. I have the marriage certificate as well as a translated copy uploaded to the proof of marriage section. For additional proof of marriage, I'm uploading the following:

  1. 401k beneficiary designation
  2. Life insurance beneficiary designation
  3. Health/dental/vision insurance coverage
  4. Photo of same credit card in both our names (I couldn't add her as joint, but was able to add her as authorized user)
  5. Joint checking account ownership
  6. Jewelry receipts
  7. Travel documentation (photo of my Japan tourist visas and her I-94 travel history)
  8. A PDF containing ~30 photos of us with family members as well from throughout our relationship (we met 9 months ago)

 

Would it be overkill to add her to my lease? Or would that potentially create confusion regarding where she's actually living? Any additional evidence I should consider???

That is possible.  Personally, I think your evidence is already fine for the I-130.  However, I would add her to the lease immediately upon arrival in the US.  Good luck.

Plenty of evidence.  You should be fine.  I agree, do the lease after she immigrated.

 

Good Luck!
