Here you go! This is the video I used for the Binder.
This woman started with a K1 Visa but the binder she prepared was for AOS for her husband's green card.
My binder ended up looking exactly like hers. I went to Staples and bought  everything I needed.
The IO was thrilled to take all my materials. You can NEVER have too much evidence.
 
 

Congrats!!! Looks like a tough interview! Were you already married more than 2 years?
What visa did you have when you came to the US and did it expire at the time of the AOS filling?

Hi Everyone,
 
I just wanted to provide an update on my interview.- We were approved on the spot! YAY!!!!!!!!!
Married: Feb 2019
PD: March 2019
Interview Date: June 19th, 2019.
Interview Location: Lawrence, MA
 
My husband and I arrived at the office for our 11:00am appointment with our Lawyer. The IO called my name only ( I am the petitioner) and I walked in with my lawyer right on time.
 
The IO Office asked me first a series of questions on the I-485 form about my husband(beneficiary)
-What status did your husband come into the US on?
-What are your parents names?
-What are your husband's parent's names?
-What year and month did you husband last enter into the United States?
-When was the first time your husband entered into the US?
-Where does your husband currently work?
-Have you met your husband's family?
-What is his job title?
-What are some of the previous companies he worked at? ( Locations as well)
-Where do you work?
-Where was your husband born? (City and Country)
 
He checked off a few items and then went to his computer to start with more intense and detailed questions:
-How did you guys meet?
-Where did you first meet?
-How did you guys get married?
-Who proposed to who?
-Where did your husband propose to you?
-Where did you get the wedding ring?
--Do you have any siblings? What are their names?
-Does your husband have siblings? What are their names?
-What did you do last night?
-Where did you eat last night?
-Where else did you go last night?
-Do you have a washer/dryer in your apartment?
-What did you do on Memorial Day weekend?
-Do you have a ceiling fan?
-Do you have a dishwasher in your apartment?
-What are the colors of the walls in your bedroom?
-What are the colors of the floor in your bedroom? Is it carpet or wooden floor?
-What is the color of your comforter?
-What prescription medications do you or your spouse take if any?
-Do you or your husband smoke? If so what brand of cigarettes?
-Do you have any tattoos ? 
-What is the tattoo that you have? and what kind of tattoo does your husband have?
-Have your parents been to your apartment? If so, what was the last time?
-Who was at your wedding?
-What did you do after the wedding? Where did you guys go?
-Have you have any recent hospitalizations? ( My husband and I did on seperate occassions and he asked for what reason)
-What type of electronics do you have in your home?
-Do you have a television in your bedroom? - Do you have one in any other part of your home?
-When was the last time you guys went grocery shopping?
-What grocery stores do you go to?
-Have you been on any trips? If so where?
 
He then called in my husband and asked the same exact questions and my husband was able to answer 98% of the questions correctly.
He then gave us a verbal approval.
 
I had a BOAT LOAD of evidence to give- I had prepared a detailed binder with evidence from Pictures of trips we had been on to gift reciepts and more.
I spent about 3 weeks preparing our binder which was very beneficial in the end. I actually found a lovely Youtube Video of a woman who had a great binder example and I followed that which helped.
 
Overall it was a TOUGH interview. Luckily my husband and I are very close and know each other inside and out so we had no trouble but if you think you can go into an interview without any preparation, THINK AGAIN.
 
My lawyer was actually shocked because he had never seen such a detailed interview before, he mentioned that the IO went by the book and was meticulous.
My lawyer was espcially shocked because we had no red flags in our application to begin with.
 
By 5:00pm same day our status for I485 upated to "My card is being produced"
 
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE out there who is reading this and preparing for an interview.
 
 
 

A few of my friends and I have submitted all the evidence in the initial application (pictures, joint accounts/insurance/lease/bills, travel bookings, affidavits from friends and family) and all the interviews took about 15 minutes, they said the original package was very good and no additional evidence was required, they asked about 5 questions with both spouses being in the same room. The interview is much easier when you front-load the application. 

I agree with previous posters that you have a lot of evidence, but that it is better to be safe than sorry. As well I agree that you will need to save proof for ROC (Removal of Conditons)  on the green card in a few years. Good luck on your interview  

Be sure to save all of the evidence dated from 8 Feb 2019 forward, it will be necessary for the ROC phase of the process in a couple of years.
 
Your timeline is vacant.  It helps everyone that uses the forum. Additionally the data helps the VJ stats 
 
Good luck on your immigration journey.

Thats alot of proof. Doubt they will need all the evidence you listed but it is better to be safe than sorry. Good luck with your interview.

There are some people who chase luck and some who luck chases. You happen to be on the latter category. Probably USCIS is randomly implementing LIFO policy. Congras and good luck.

Congratulations 🎉
