What documents should I bring during the interview if I have been outside the US over 6 months but less than 1 year?

Hi all,

I left the United States for 9 months with my husband who was invited to take a position in an European University as a visiting scholar (the duration of his visit was designed as 9 months). I know I have to show some evidences that I still kept my connections with the US and I was never trying to break my ties with it. I have prepared the documents below:

1. Direct Deposit history in my bank account from my employer. (During the period I still continued working for my employer in the US, by working remotely.)

2. IRS tax return transcripts.

3. I own a condo. During my leave, I leased it to my friend but the contract with the electricity company was still under my name, and I was actually the one who paid the bill every month. I prepared all electricity bills I paid during that period. Those bills are on my name.

4. Since my leave was planned to be temporarily, I kept paying fees in order to keep my US cell phone number. So I prepared all detailed AT&T bills.

5. The email letter from the European University and my husband's University in the US, which show the period of visiting scholar is 9 months.

Please let me know what else can I bring to show that I was never trying to break my ties with the US. It's my second time to file the N400. (First time I got denied due to my wrong calculation of dates.....) I can't bear to do it over again. I have to pass the interview this time! I hope I can bring as much evidences as I can.

Thank you all.
