I'm sure others more knowledgeable will chime in, but immediately: I don't see joint tax returns/transcripts listed on your checklist, so do make sure you have those!

As for the reasons you're not living together, you seem to have plenty of documentation and I would expect that as long as you EXPLAIN that fact, in a typed explanation/letter laying out the timeline and reasons for your separate residences, that then they would understand your proofs and documentation and accept it. I hope! But do make sure to explain it clearly to them -- the documents alone might be confusing, so a written explanation will go a long way in helping them understand.

I'm sure others might come along with more suggestions though!

so you have to list tax returns?

You can check the docs required for ROC at USCIS website.

You will need to submit tax transcript for 2011 and 2012 and tax return for 2013.

I don't know if you ever filed taxes for 2011 and 2012 or not.

If you have filed previous years taxes then request transcript from IRS.
