3) indian Passport - Old & Renewed ...Name and adress pages ... not visa pages ( photo copy)
4) US passport of wife ( photo copy)
5) My driving license ( photo copy)
6) wifes driving license ( photo copy)
7) Marriage certificate ( photo copy)
8) 2 passport size pics with name and A number written on back with pencil
9) Form G-1145
10) Form G-1450

Associated Evidences :

a) 5 yrs Tax transcript
b) Wife( US citizens) retirement account account showing me as death beneficiary

How is this looking ? Anything else suggested ?

Questions :
1) I photocopied the name and adress pages of my Indian passport. Do I need to photocopy the visa pages too ?
2) Do I need phtocopy of my old & new passport ? or only the new one would do ?
3) Letter from my wife ( US citizen) necessary ...we provided onein each case AOS & ROC
4) recommendation letters from relatives & friends necessary ?
5) Pictures together ...necessary ?

6) Does any one the afore mentioned photocpies need to be notarized ?

I appreciate all comments from my heart .... thank you so much :luv:

If you're applying on the basis of 5 years, you shouldn't have to include so much "marital" evidence. Re-read the instructions carefully.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

Thanks TboneTx. I do know that. But from my experience through AOS and ROC, i have learnt that giving them a little extra saves you from questions & RFE.

Anyone on my queries ? Thanks

Thanks NancyNguyen. Well what TboneTX said is 100% right, I just want to send a little extra to be on the safe side. Thats all. Regarding my question below, I guess photocopying only the name & adress pages of old & new passport would do.

1) I photocopied the name and adress pages of my Indian passport. Do I need to photocopy the visa pages too ?

Thanks
