1.  You won't know until you receive your I-797 receipt.

2.  Not necessarily.  Concentrate on quality evidence you DO have.

3.  See #2 above.

4.  I used the example cover letter in the VJ guide at https://www.visajourney.com/content/751guide/

 

This is supporting evidence I sent:

Apartment lease with both our names & signatures
Periodic Joint bank checking acct statements since wife's arrival in June 2017.
Deed for new home with both our names
Mortgage Lender Letter with both our names.
Credit Cards showing both on joint account with same card number.
Amazon delivery label showing both names and our current address.
Wife's Military Dependent ID card showing me as the sponsor.
Tricare Eligibility Letter showing both of us together.
Military pay statement showing wife as my benefic.
Texas Health Care Directives appointing each other as sole health care proxy(Advanced Directives)
Our Texas driver's licenses with same address for both of us
2018 Joint Tax ReturnTax Returns 
Pictures of us on special occasions here in the US.
Car Insurance Cards showing both of us as insured drivers for our car
Boarding Passes for Las Vegas Valentine Day Trip 2019
Utility application showing both our names for our current address

Personally, I included all pages of all joint bank statements.  There have been reports of RFEs issued for lacking all statements.

With your extension letter getting back in isn't an issue.  People have had issues getting on the plane for the US.   Try buying the flight on a US based carrier if at all possible.

I’m planning on going to Canada on my car, so I'm not flying.My GC expires in September and I’m planning on traveling next month so I think I’ll have my extension letter by that time. So is there any issues i should be aware of?! I’m just more concerned about getting back into the country with an almost expiring GC and an extension letter. I mean would there be any issues with that?!

Going by car with extension letter if fine.  You only need the extension letter for travel after the GC expires.

Coming back, with a conditional green card,  after it is expired without an extension is an issue.

Another question about ROC, i do have a seperate bank account which i was only using to save for a car and pay for school, my wife knows about it but she's not on it and we rarely use (we use it for emergencies sometimes) so i was thinking as long as uscis have my SSN they can access every bit of info about me so i was thinking if they fins out i have a separate account would that be an issue ? especially that i have transferred some money from that account to our joint account when we have some money emergencies back in 2018. i hope this makes sense, but i really need an answer
