Hello!
I have been a conditional resident for almost two years, and my wife and I are about to submit I-751 to grant me full permanent residence.
However, since the pandemic hit hard, we haven't been able to go out much, attend events or take as much pictures as we used to. So, the documentation we will be providing to prove a bona-fide marriage will be very similar to what we previously submitted for the initial petition (updated car insurance, tax returns, bank statements, etc) but with a few more pictures.
We recently came across a few documents from when we were cohabitating years before we got married (i.e dating) and we have four years worth of tax returns, and while they were filed individually since we weren't married, we shared the exact addresses, showing that we've been together way before we even got married, along with countless photos we took in those years, as well as rental leases for the apartment we cohabitated in.
Question is, would the IO accept these pre-marriage documents in consideration to further establish legitimacy? We basically dated and lived together longer than we have been married, and I feel like documenting a 7+ years relationship vs. a 3-year marriage would be in our benefit.
Any advice?
