My fiance' and I's wedding is due to take place on August 8, 2008. We have decided not long ago to marry under the VWP and we know the necessary steps to take. However, one good point my fiance' brought up was if we were to make the joint bank account now, would the IO frown upon it because it was made before the wedding? (although after the decision to marry) As it may look like we presume it's going to go through. Should we wait until after we are married to get the joint bank account, and them also put it in my wife to be's married name?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Kind Regards,

-Richard

Honestly, I don't think it makes one bit of difference either way.

Life's just a crazy ride on a run away train

You can't go back for what you've missed

So make it count, hold on tight find a way to make it right

You only get one trip

So make it good, make it last 'cause it all flies by so fast

Agree, it shouldn't matter, as there is no way to tell from a regular bank statement the date when the second person was added to the account or when the account was opened. Unless the IO goes to special lengths to find out (through FBI, I suppose), which I doubt they'll invest the time and money to investigate when a bank account was opened.

Agree...

I think either one is fine. If you do before getting marriage, I don't think the bank would make difficult to change the name after marriage (if you want marriage name).

If anything i think it might be better to get it joint early, since it shows you trust each other with each others money beforehand. Had a longer marriage. My wife and I had a joint account for at least a year before we got married, but not sure about with a VWP situation
