And I thought all my worries were over when we got the conditional green card...So I didn't even think about this RoC thing.

My wife is not from a wealthy family. I already had a house and a comfortable income in the US.

We had an agreement when she came here: I would pay for everything, and her earnings would belong to her. So the cars, the house, the utilities are all in my name.

Jointly we have...her bank account and her investment account and those only because it was cheaper to set those accounts up jointly. In those accounts her money goes in and her money goes out. There is nothing joint-ish about those.

Any suggestions as to how we should satisfy the government that we have a genuine marriage?

wills, life insurance, power of attorney, access to joint medical records, essentially you are trying to show that you trust each other with your finances and if anything happens they decide what happens to you.

good luck

From the ROC guide list :

Examples of documents showing a bona fide relationship (Submit COPIES only. Do not send originals):

1. A deed, showing co-ownership of your property or a lease agreement with both of your names on the
lease. 2. Utility bills, credit card bills, and other types of bills which have both of your names on them. Since many utilities will only put a bill in one person's name, some bills in one name and other bills at the same address but in the other spouse's name serve the same purpose: showing your financial & social lives intermingled. 3. Copies of actual credit cards, health insurance cards, or other "joint" cards that you have together,
showing same account number. 4. Car, health, or life insurance that has both of your names on the policy or the other spouse listed as the
beneficiary. 5. 401K or other retirement plan with spouse listed as beneficiary (right to survivorship is the technical term) 6. Bank or stock accounts with both of your names on them. 7. A copy of your joint federal and state tax returns (including W-2's and other applicable Schedules and attachments). Sending an official tax transcript from the IRS (for Federal) is beneficial and often preferred as it reflects what was actually filed. 8. A car title or other titles to property showing joint ownership with your spouse. 9. Birth certificate of any children that have been born to your marriage. 10. Documentation of any vacations that you have taken, including flight itineraries, hotel bills, pictures of you
together on vacation. 11. Other family pictures of you together. 12. Documentary proof showing evidence of your children together (Copy of Birth Certificate, photos, etc) 13. Copies of Christmas cards and other holiday cards addressed to you both

Get what you possibly can and explain what you do not have and why in a letter.
They do like to see financial co mingling from the inception of marriage.
I don't know when you have to file but if you have some time left start mingling sooner rather than later.
