I experienced an RFE shortly after sending in my husbands I-130... ours was based in London.

We sent a cover letter similar to yours and got accepted two days after sending :)

However, I would suggest sending an affidavit of bona fide marriage explaining how you two met and leading up to your marriage. :)

Not needed or required for the USCIS or in Canada for the interview. I specify because some countries do require a relationship timeline at the interview (Vietnam for example) but Canada isn't one. To be honest, in Montreal, the interview feels more like a formality. The USCIS and Montreal are looking for genuine relationship evidence which the OP should have more than most considering he lives with his wife.

The only thing is that we don't actually have a joint-lease agreement. We don't have an official lease agreement at all. We've been renting a place from my parents, but we've never actually signed anything. Basically the only "official" evidence we have from the list is our joint bank account.

One thing I'm worried about: my "official address", the one I have on all my government records is my parent's address. This is the address I've used as my most recent address on the G-325A even though I'm currently living at a different address. Will this matter? I have utility bills for the address where we're staying, but they're only in my name.

Any idea about Russia? Would you recommend that I create a relationship timeline for my Russian wife and how we met?

Always double check your documents and forms. Not only do you get delayed by RFEs and Checklists, but the time it takes for them to review the new items you send could be used to approve more applications. Save yourself and others valuable time!

Current Status: NVC:
-Assigned and Received NVC Case Number, IIN, and BIN April 18, 2014. (100% sure case # was assigned today because I called twice and it wasn't assigned in the morning when they opened but in the afternoon it was)

I should also mention that I want all communication to be mailed to my parent's address, which I have for my most recent residence.
