Thanks D_R_J, that's encouraging. In total we have : Five years living together (two before marriage, three after), with tenancy contracts, joint utility bills, and individual bank account statements for proof. Sponsor (my wife) as a supplementary card holder on beneficiary's (me) Amex for four years with statements. Sponsor receiving private health insurance through beneficiary's company as partner of beneficiary Sponsor listed as work life insurance policy beneficiary for 6 years Engagement ring invoice from 2020 Hundreds of pictures together in a 30 or 40 page pdf document Boarding passes, hotel receipts etc. for joint travel over 8 years Affidavit of support from our mutual very close friend who introduced us My original thought was just that the immigration official would open a document, for instance the life insurance nomination of beneficiary, and would have to work out what it was and why I'm including it. But I suppose it will be pretty obvious and I'm probably overthinking it. I'll just try and be descriptive with the filenames. I guess I am just trying to guarantee we get it right first time as it would be so annoying to have the already long process delayed because we don't include something or there is a misunderstanding. By the way, DCF isn't available to us as they stopped routinely doing through the London Embassy in 2019, and only do it for emergencies now.

We are close to submitting the I-130 online. Spouse (my wife) and I (beneficiary) both live abroad (London, UK). For the additional proof of marriage, some files are self explanatory, like health insurance for spouse. For other evidence, it isn't as obvious why you are uploading it; for instance individual bank statements with the same address to showed you lived together (it could be to show money being sent to each other or another purpose). Or other proof of address such as utility bills. Is it normal to just upload all the files and let the immigration official work out why you have uploaded it? Would it be a good idea to make a document register and upload it first? i.e. a table with the filename and an explanation of why it has been included? Is there any reason not to do this? Would love to hear any thoughts people have on the above.
