The reason I'm asking is because I'm almost at 80 pages just to prove that I had banking activities for each month between June 2007 through June 2012. I'm reading on this forum that some people have as little as 30 pages!! How is that possible without skipping a huge chunk of months inbetween? Or am I missing something?

How many pages of evidence did you guys submit to prove that you were here continuously within those 5 years?

Add in my application, the proof of identity, proof I came b4 turning 16, proof of immigration status, proof of student status ... heck that means I'm almost at 110-120 pages in total. Does 120 pages sound average for everyone?

Yikes man, did you skip a few months? or did you condense months of banks statements into one? How is that possible, just one month of my bank statement alone takes up 1 full page and there isn't much activity on there ... maybe 5 activites at best. I took out page one which is mostly formality and page 3 which is for you to do calculations if you wanted to and page 4 which is advertising. So from 4 pages per month I trimmed it down to one page per month. I can't understand how 5 years of evidence gets shrunk down to 30 pages.

I get it now. Some people are still in High School or College and the transcript alone covers the entire period. I graduated in mid 2008 so I have since mid 2008 to now to prove my continuous residence.

Dangit that sucks. I'm reading people with thick paperwork allegedly take much longer to process than those with 30 pages worth ... /waves fist

That makes me feel better. Just curious how long did it take you from submitting to being approved ... I'm assuming you got approved?

Do you have other proof besides the bank statements during that time? If yes, then I think it is overkill to submit every month. Every three months should be sufficient. Though it is up to you.

I wish I did. The only evidence I have are bank statements to prove I was here. So yeah bank statements from middle of 2008 to now is a lot. I was worried that if I skipped a month or two that they will RFE or whatever it's called for me to submit more evidence. So to avoid that, I decided to go the safe route and submit one for every month since June 2008 until June 2013 >.<

You think it's safe to skip a month or two inbetween? Will that not be considered extended travel and affect continuous residence?

I think it's still safe to skip a month or two in between because most likely they'd be using their common sense that you aren't jumping back and forth over border in those months. If you are still worried there is no page limit, so it is up to you.
