Is rental agreement with in-laws required?

[darth vader 133]

My wife (U.S.C.) has moved to the U.S. ahead of me after living with me in Canada for almost 3 years. She is currently working in the U.S. for a U.S. employer and makes comfortable salary figure. She lives with her parents, and intends to live with them until my visa is approved and we can get a place of our own. My question is, since she is already living and working in the U.S. , do we still need to get a rental agreement from my in-laws stating they have spare room in their house and are willing to let us live with them once my visa is approved and until we can find our own place OR is it something only required for folks where U.S.C themselves hasn't established domicile by the time of the NVC stage/interview?

Mod Hat hat off

It's very good your wife is already set up and working in the US. This will make things so much easier regarding domicile with Montreal.

She will have her documentation showing her current  residential address as it is now for the interview. Actual living arrangement won’t be of their  concern.

Thank you, Mod.

Follow-up questions:

1. Just so I understand you correctly, Dee elle, we do not need to send any documentation showing her current address to NVC, and only need to take it with us to the interview? In any case, we have to send her pay stub to the NVC, which shows her current U.S. address.

2. What are the preferred documentation to show the current residential address? Are pay stub, credit card statement etc. enough or it has to be driver's license?

Drivers licence carries weight so would be good to have them also bank statements insurance documents HR paperwork etc

Thanks. I do not need these for the NVC stage however, only for the interview, right?

She should have her pay stubs for her job.  The rest you can take to interview but as the I-864 will say the USA is her domicile and her pay stubs back her up, likelihood of this information being asked for is slim.  You are correct that it is not needed for the NVC either.
