Going back 3 years? It was just sent with i751 a year ago

Depends on your comfort level. There's been cases when officer said "We don't have your I-751 file" or "We don't have enough evidence", e.g sometimes USCIS loses evidence. If you bring everything, you'll be bulletproof. 

At the same time, you may be never asked for much evidence going back.

So we have to send same old evidence again?

You're uploading digitally, right? Or you're filing on paper?

Then submitting more shouldn't be an issue? You're not printing anything

I tend to agree since you are filing digitally.  Upload all the evidence you submitted with the I751 as well as any updated items such as updated tax filings, etc..  Yes, redundant, but it covers the bases.

 

Good Luck!

Sounds good. Is it worth adding stuff from the i485? Or thats too much

I would think the I485 stuff is dated a bit.

We didn't add all of the same evidence from the I-751 with new evidence for the N-400, but I did make sure there was overlap between the two.
