Thanks @Dashinka and @OldUser greatly appreciate the feedback. I think the one concern is that under current administration there is higher likelihood of denial for less common situations. Spouse has great job and wants to keep it but tricky situation as she is seeking approval to do full WFH to be here. Main concern is I don't want to open door to scrutiny, where we feel there is none hence the whole "just give what you're asked". We view it as there is chance that they'll just accept the extension if we present the evidence "as is", and if we disclose anything further that will severely delay my process. @OldUser We've lived at the same place since we moved into together and initially filed the I-485 so spouse hasn't needed file I-865. I haven't filled out AR-11. Was told by lawyers not do this under current rules based on tax filing. Still plan to file jointly in the state where we lived as I worked there until April of last year. Lawyer told me until that changes I shouldn't file an AR-11. But really want to understand concern if I just file the application as is? I'm theoretically not lying about anything. Can always explain further if questioned in an RFE/interview. @Boiler honestly great question. We've worked with this person before, and is super competent plus a lot cheaper than a lawyer.

Hi all, I had a question regarding filing I-751 still married living in two separate states (on different coasts). I lived in state with Spouse from April 2022, got married Sep 2022 living together until end of May 2024 when I had to move to a different state because of a job opportunity that I couldn't say no to. My spouse still lives in our apartment in the other state and we travel by plane to see each other every weekend 3 times a month (14 days a month, essentially every weekend). We have 31 plane tickets from 2024. Our current I-751 preparer has essentially told us to not divulge more than necessary and provide only the evidence that's asked of us. Has said we have plenty of evidence (list included below), and shouldn't be worried but that it wouldn't be wise to add unnecessary information that would scrutinize our boanfide marriage. Some lawyers we've spoken to has said we are absolutely in a danger zone, and could risk my greencard - essentially saying cohabitation is the one only real proof of a bonafide marriage. These same lawyers also wants to charge us 4-5k to file it. What is best course of action here? Evidence includes: 2 year tax returns, private life insurance showing each other as beneficiaries, joint health insurance, work life insurance showing each other as beneficiaries, JWTROS brokerage account, 3-years joint lease agreements, 3-years of joint bank statements, 100 photos stemming back from 2022, 7x travel tickets for travel abroad + to my home country, utility bills, retirement accounts with each other as beneficiaries, 401ks showing eachother as beneficiaries, renters insurance, auto insurance from 2022-April 2024.
