How detailed can I get at an infopass meeting? Got an RFE for financial details.

I included what I thought was enough financial details with my original application in April, but yesterday I got an RFE for financial data showing commingling of finances (attached the relevant part of the letter). I'm not 100% sure because it's been seven months, but I think I might not have shown a long history with finances, just a few month statements - I thought given that we've filed taxes together the last two years, own our house together and our salaries are paid into the one account that pays all bills and our CCs from would be enough, but in retrospect I probably should have shown more history, maybe back to when we moved to the US two years ago. The other reason I didn't do that was I read on here a number of times that there is such thing as sending too much info, and I wanted to avoid that. As it was my packet was three inches thick.

Anyway, yesterday I called the helpline to find out if there's such a thing as sending too much info (I'm thinking I'll send all bank/credit card/mortgage statements for two years and see how that sits with them) but they told me I need an infopass meeting if I want to discuss anything specific.

I've made an infopass appointment for two weeks time, but I want to set my expectations - will they only answer general questions, or will they be able to see the full detail of my application? Better yet will they go through whatever further documentation I bring to the appointment (eg bank/mortgage statements) and tell me if I'm submitting enough/too much? Can I submit at the infopass appointment or do they answer questions and then I submit separately?

FWIW from the list I've already sent them:

: Bank statements, including transaction pages from what I remember.
: Vehicle Insurance
: Credit card statements
: Two years of join tax returns

Go to the ROC guide and look at the list needed and then compare what you already have and not thinking of and submit that for your AOS RFE.

Hey I'm not sure if you read my whole question but (a) I submitted everything from the guide that I had (the list above is just what I've already supplied that's listed on the RFE) and (b) my question is about what will happen at the Infopass appointment - if they'll be able to be specific about what I need to submit, or if they'll be able to look over documents I bring with me to tell me if it's enough.
