Our package was finally sent today. There were some last minute dramas but I feel like I’ve done everything I can possibly do. Last post for some time. Thanks again everybody who helped me through the last few months on this thread. I cannot thank you all enough.

It says received by 15th Feb. So I'd say you need to make sure it's there by then.

This is typically something a banker can print for you in branch. If you can't go in person perhaps sending a secure message asking for it might work too? We tried to get a similar statement from Chase before, but there's no branches in HI and as such so had no luck. If you have statements showing both your names from them I'd argue this isn't necessarily gonna add much though anyway in my opinion.

I would take literally as written.  "Received in this office..."

Please just gather what you have and send it on Monday. You've been overworking this rfe for some time in the forums. Having it delivered even if not perfect is miles better than risking missing the deadline, making your process face issues in the future.
 
Just. Send. It. Over. Stop overthinking. They are trying to give you a chance in having no interview. Take it.

Spoke to my older landlord today. It appears my wife did add me to the lease when I moved in. Thank god, Huge weight lifted off me!    Now I can focus on putting the package together this weekend. Thanks again to everyone here who’s been helping me I really appreciate it.

Thanks yes I agree with that advice. It’s what I was thinking myself. We do have an ace up our sleeve in that we have a former landlord who also knew us well. He was the landlord during part of the time in question. So my first port of call will be to call him and ask a few questions. But yes, formulating what I need in a statement is crucial. It will also be helpful for myself to write down exactly what I need to get this done before I talk to him. Thanks so much for your thoughtful advice I really appreciate it.

Either way getting added to the lease now will not specifically help in showing that you were properly living together at the same address for all these months imho, although I'd probably still try to get this done if it were me. 
 
In terms of having your landlord write a letter explaining the living situation/leases/income verification thing... What I would suggest is researching and writing a sample for him. Then when you go speak to him again explain what exactly it is you need and why, offer to show him a sample letter of what's needed, tell him you'd be fine with him making use of said sample letter or use it as a guideline at least. This takes some of the ambiguity of it all out of the equation - landlord probably isn't as clued in this whole immigration stuff as we all are as we're literally living through it. Make it easy for him to give you what you need. 

@OldUser I do understand 100 percent what you are saying. This lease stuff has been the source of the majority of my stress. So much so that the letter I asked my landlord to write I hadn’t even opened till just now. Your response actually prompted me to finally open it I’ve been too nervous to do so. Well I just read it and it’s not what I need at all. It appears he hasn’t understood. He has not explained why we don’t have a lease agreement and also he has mentioned me being a tenant there since 2020 when in fact I had moved in of December 2018. Perhaps I wasn’t added to the certification until then who knows I would have to check. We were married in Feb 2019 and I think by the time the next certification was done I was added and signed. So now I’m in a bind. The combination of your response and reading his has be extremely stressed again. I still have time. I will have to go back and see him again it appears. Thanks @OldUser it’s not as though I wasn’t aware of what you are saying I have been very aware of the lease issue. But your response today prompted me to read his letter which I had been avoiding. Whilst I am now freaking out at least I can try and get this resolved on Monday when he’s back in the office. 

Well, I'd send the original lease agreement listing you and your wife.
 
When I had lease, it was for 1 year, then month to month. There were no documents every year for it, but since we still lived there, there was nothing else to include. I only included original lease which was still in effect. Got approved.

That sounds like solid evidence.
How about joint lease?
Joint utility bills?

Just use my list and get what you have from there. That’s actually my cover letter. Copy, paste, change to what you do have. Tailor it to what you need and you’ll be fine. 
I couldn’t believe it that I was approved without an interview. My one and only interview was for citizenship, and it was only 20’. You can do it

When is your deadline to reply? You're overthinking it!

Let the immigration officer do some work 😃 You provide the evidence, they'll figure it out. Or you can mention it in the cover letter briefly.

Ha! I just now read that I wrote "Copies of Spectrum (Internet) monthly statements showing xxxx as responsible for paying gas and electricity in our joint" hahaha. I guess it didn't matter since I an now a citizen.
Anyhow, no, the internet is only on my name. That's why I put it under "cohabitation" because I wanted to show that we live together.
I didn't.
 

Just spoke to the wife she does it through turbotax thank god so it should be pretty easy to get them. I was freaking out thinking id have to get them from the IRS because there is not enough time and its costly. It looks like i have my W2s so that's all good too. Once again i thank you @powerpuff for your help. 🙂

Ok thank you for your prompt reply . I just got off the phone from the IRS and the gentleman I spoke to seemed to think that the record of account transcript would be the best option as it includes both the tax return transcript you mentioned and the tax account transcript we already have. But I guess you are saying order the tax return transcript. Then we will have both serves same purpose.
