Yes. Do you think anyone is going to read all that? Keep it reasonable.

It's too much for USCIS, which will not care about anything except that which establishes that you've met in person during the last 2 years.

Some of that will be helpful at the consular stage, at the visa interview. Santo Domingo is not an easy embassy, so select key pieces of the above to include with your I-129F petition (USCIS will pass it along to the embassy). See the "Embassy Info" and "Reviews: Embassy" (links atop any VJ page) for what people recommend for Santo Domingo.

An ex adjudicator answered this on an old post before. Maybe it will help answer your question. He said:

Just a quick note. This is my thoughts as if I were to receive your package as an adjudicator and not based on anything else.

So, as I would heft this door stop of a packet onto my desk I would first think to myself that while it may be a tad much, this person has their stuff in one sock so to speak (translated – you have your act together, maybe a bit over the top- but together none-the-less). I would always have too much information to look through than not enough and have to send out an RFE. It just may happen that a piece of supplemental information is found on those extra documents. One never knows…

As an adjudicator, I know what exactly I'm looking for, what's relevant and what's not needed to be looked at right at the moment. I'd check the things I needed to check and basically ignore the rest, (unless I needed to find a specific piece of info that I thought might be included within your packet). Otherwise, it all stays in the file, but unless its something I'd deal with to make a determination on your case I wouldn't bother (unless it was a real slow day and I wanted some entertainment or something to talk about at lunch with the co-workers. “Hey Mary, you should've seen the packet I got today…†Just kidding. We usually never talked shop and because we're always busy, time to browse doesn't usually happen.

So to answer your question more directly – I don't think it's gonna hurt your case any if that's what you're worried about.
