I sent in my I-751 today
...and now I'm nervous. It didn't turn out to be very many pages of evidence. Yikes!

I am also worried about the lack of evidence I sent in. I sent it to
get it in the works and fully expect an RFE.
I haven't received the receipt yet, but I know it was delivered on
September 5 by VT.

My wife and I sent 8 pages (which may have included the form itself), no
affidavits, no photos, no copy of the marriage license (unless it was
required, I can't recall). You don't need a great deal of paper if it's
"good."

I think all I ended up sending was:
-1 bill in my name, 1 in Chris's name (same address - they were from a few months apart, we switched cell phone companies so both had the 2 same phone #s listed on it too)
-car insurance card that has both names on it
-house insurance bill with both names
-house insurance statement with both names (from about a year before the bill mentioned above)
-deed to house with both names
-bank statement with both names
-like 5 photos
..I think thats about it. I feel like I didnt do a very good job of it, looking back. Hopefully all is okay

True. On the plus side, I guess if I get an RFE or an interview, I'm sure I'll be able to find more stuff to send somewhere

Re: I sent in my I-751 today
If yours isn't enough, mine certainly won't be!
I think I sent 5 pages of evidence on 20th of Aug or so, however, I'm not worried in the slightest, because its good stuff and what they asked for.
Sent:
1. Birth certificate of newborn child
2. Home ownership doc showing joint ownership
3. Joint bank account doc
4. Joint tax return for last year
5. Statement of joint investment account.
To my mind, thats plenty, heck, if I was an immigration official, number 1 alone would do it, certainly when backed up by number 2.
I have since recieved my infopass appointment for biometrics, got a receipt for my check (on or about the 30th of Aug), so to my mind everything proceeding to plan.
Why worry, anyway? If its not enough, they'll just ask for more. And, thats not a bother either, as I'll be applying for citizenship in a years time, regardless of whether they have removed the conditions by then or not - the receipt says my GC is extended for a year, anyway. Don't worry, be happy!

Oh yeah, joint tax returns - I sent that too.
True if its not enough they'll just ask for more - but I'd rather just have this whole process done with so I dont have to worry about immigration stuff for another 10 years. I have no plans to apply for citizenship soooo.....
Anyway, thanks, this was encouraging

Plus, the only real advantage I see to becoming a citizen is being able to vote...
