Not needed. Copy of GC itself is proof you are LPR.

Every 2 months is rather unusual. People typically send either monthly or quarterly.

Do you have a joint lease? Joint mortgage? I'd include evidence of that. You can also include copies of DLs / IDs showing same address. If you had trips together, flight reservations etc is also something you can add.

 

Otherwise, evidence and cover letter seem good.

We are currently house-sitting for family members and will include an explanation of our living situation in Part 11 of the I-751. Our bills show joint accounts for the utilities.

 

Since there are some redundant overlap in the evidence time period between the I-751 and the N-400, we are including bimonthly bill statements like the odd months with the I-751 and the even months with the N-400 plus the extra year for the 3-year rule requirement.

 

Thanks for the reminder to include the driver's licenses.
