Personally, I don't think you have anything to worry about.  You have a valid documented reason for temporarily living apart, and yet you still have a lot of evidence of the co-mingling of your marriage.  Since you are just filing the ROC now and it is taking a year or so for review, you presumably will be back home with your wife by the time any interview occurs.

 

Good Luck!
