Experts,

Is this enough evidence to file for the I-130? Is it better to hold onto most of ones evidence to present at interview or "flooding" USCIS with ample evidence in the submission of the forms makes the interview "easier"? Also we can get life insurance policies naming each other as beneficiaries however wouldnt that be obvious since date on said life insurance documents will be close to the date of document submission?

1. I-130 and Supporting Documents

a. Copy of Unexpired US Passport for Jane Doefemale
b. Copy of US Birth Certificate for Jane Doefemale
c. Copy of Divorce Certificate of John Doemale from previous spouse Nxxx Dxxxxx Dxxxx
d. One endorsed Passport size photo each for Jane and John
e. G-325 A for Jane Doefemale
f. G-325A for John Doemale
g. Two Affidavits of Personal Knowledge by Third Parties

Is "John" inside or outside the US? If inside, why are you not filing I-485?

But to answer your main question, its better to submit just a few key documents with the application, and then bring the rest of the evidence to the interview. In particular, dont send the personal affidavits from friends and family. Those are a last resort for people whose other evidence is weak. But they can be brought to the interview in case the interviewer wants to see them.

Thanks for the pointers, which documents of the list do you suggest we submit with the filing? Thanks in advance!

I think you have enough paperwork! Good luck...
