Timeline

We sent about 10-15 pictures scanned into a Word document with a caption that stated the date, the event, and who was in the picture. We made sure it covered the whole span of the marriage. We were approved without RFEs or interviews.

As @OldUserhas stated, with more "concrete" evidence, send ALL pages. Not worth risking an RFE just to save some printing $$. Here is a copy of our cover letter. Feel free to include what you want.

Well, I did send pictures, about 10 but they had no explanations and I did not send any data from social media and both my K1 and CR 1 were approved without issue.  I honestly do not think all that is needed.

Printing and sending images makes sense, but sending the images WITH annotations - seems a bit excessive?

 

Also the social media posts with comments, seem a bit too much as well.

 

Is this common?

 

It is not needed but there's no harm in doing it. In my case, I sent photos without annotations with my initial I-751. I received an RFE and in my response to the RFE, I included photos with dates, captions, locations, and if it was a group photo I wrote who was in the photos with us. If the photos were vacation photos I included copies of the plane tickets and hotel bookings.  I also sent social media posts with my response to the RFE (something I did not do for my initial I-751), I sent social media posts of us as a couple and made sure they saw the hundreds of likes and comments from friends and family. I know it wasn't needed but figured it would show that we were a legit couple who was very open about our relationship on social media.
