"We prefer to keep most of our finances separated.."
 
This is the biggest red flag, as it's the hallmark of a sham marriage because mixing assets requires trust. You may have to rethink this position.

Wow! I had no idea you have to sign the tax returns and notarized the affidavit. 
We didn't do any of those. We printed one month of bank statement for each year since we got married (my husband picked the month randomly) and of course the most recent month before we applied. I just got interviewed and approved yesterday. Good luck! 

I had the RFE as well on remove condition, and i sent in everything from her Rx bottle with our address to the title of our cars. and i have like 4 friends write letters and I did not have them notarized. Tax return i would just include the tax form (like 1040) only ( not the worksheets  come with them. i also included many photos within the two years including dates and descriptions.  just send in as much as you can and should be ok.

First of all - make sure you cover the total time of your marriage.  Sending the last three bank statements won't cut it.  You did not specify which, or how many bank statements you sent, but because it sounds like you don't co-mingle your accounts too much.  Definitely send a statement about the fact that 1) you already owned your home prior to marriage and 2) she is in the process of building her credit.
 
Send ALL pages of bank statements.  Many people make the mistake of only sending the summary page.  They want to see the transactions.
 
Yes, get tax transcripts.  You made an error in only sending the first page.  Transcripts prove that you filed your taxes.  First pages of 1040s do not.
