The I-751 is based on first marriage, so the evidence of good faith marriage has to be from that first marriage. Unfortunately, there are times the Immigration Service will request for evidence that you have previously submitted. In that case, you can repackage the evidence with a letter indicating that you have submitted them before. You can supplement with additional records.
