ROC is mostly about showing the financial co-mingling that a 'normal couple' ensues.

That's my 2 cents, and I'm sticking to it.

I hope not since I'm not adding my wife's name to the title. If we refinance and both our names are on the loan then I will add her to the title.

since your husband bought the condo after both of you got marry, the condo should be in both of your names. uscis will want to know why that the condo is not in both names.

No they won't. This is a complete bull. My husband and I bought a house after I got here. I am NOT on the mortgage because I didn't have a good credit history (well actually I had no history) and that would have raised the interest rate. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Because I'm not on the mortgage I'm not allowed on the title, that's some rule the bank or the VA made. I still had to sign paperwork though.

There's nothing wrong with this. There can be many reasons why you can't be put on the title. As long as you have other evidence you should be fine.

Folks, if there was a tried and true recipe for proving a relationship is bonafide then all the immigration scammers would be doing that in a heart beat. My wife is on some financial things and not on others. She is not on the house mortgage, but she is on several investments. She is not on any on the household bills. She did not change her lastname either. I will submit what we have an let the people at the USCIS see wheher it is enough. After getting thru the first year of marrage, I would say just showing up still married for ROC is proof that the relationship is bonafide as both parties have worked thru all the differences of culture and dealt with the stresses that this whole process puts you through.

Good luck to all,

Dave

I'm not on the house mortgage. The IO just asked why and we told her I had no SSN or credit history at the time and she said ok. Nothing else was asked about that. This was for AOS but I'm sure they don't expect you to refinance just for the purposes of ROC.

I would have thought if you have a lot of other evidence to show financial co-mingling then this shouldn't be an issue. If that was me, and I had other evidence, I wouldn't even bring it up or include it.

When i submitted my ROC,i wasn't prepared at all coz i am always busy working.I remembered i had only one bank statement submitted,(month of March of 2010 only)it's a joint account and that account was opened 3months after my arrival here.We have our own health insurance,so the only joint documents i submitted was the 2009 and 2010 IRS,car insurance,life insurance and our 401k beneficiaries,i wasn't in our mortgage coz he had that one long time ago,we had an interview on my 2 years GC before and the interviewer asked my husband when he acquired that house it is before or after the marriage and he answered the truth,that's it i received my 2 years gc after a week of our interview.So maybe it depends on the person who handle our case coz i thought my documents wasn't enough at all coz we dont have kids,but THANK GOD,i got my approval letter for my 10years gc without interview.GOODLUCK. .

Many states require that your spouse be included on the deed for the propert if married when purchasing a home. That does not mean that both names need to be on the mortgage for the home, asuming you have a mortage.

When I refiananced my home in my last marriage, I did not include my spouse on the loan but she still needed to sign on the loan.

I would assume that your husband did not include you on the mortgage for a reason. You can have both spouses on the mortgage but only include one of them for the background credit check portion. A stay at home wife obviously would not have any credit history if she came from another country but she could be on the mortgage also.

Not needed.

He can quit claim you with the deed.

[Gosia & Tito 199]

since your husband bought the condo after both of you got marry, the condo should be in both of your names. uscis will want to know why that the condo is not in both names.

Normally you want to have both names since the new title fees are going to be paid anyway; but there are exceptions -sort of-; in a community property state it is not really needed to have both names. As long as the deed mentions one of the names (usually husband) and status as married, there is no need to name the wife (or the other way around if the Mrs is in the title). That automatically gives title to both. SOme title companies will insist on that and some would not. In a non community property state, is up the spouse signing.

ANd Yes, it can come up -if the USCIS employee is detailed oriented, WHy are both names not in the deed? Even a refi would make that.

You might want to take the necesary steps here.

And before going in panic, Are you sure you are talking about the title/deed and not the mortgage loan? It is quite common than only one of the spouses is on the loan and there is no law against it.

He can quit claim you with the deed.

That would depend on the state. Most do with Quit claims, some do not.

There is the part in the instructions about including at least two affidavits from people that know you and your current situation. We didn't include affidavits because officially the only things that was required was a copy of front and back of the GC. (We did include other evidence with a letter explaining our evidence). One thing that we included a letter from the assistant property manager of our building saying what our current rent is and the date that we moved in.

We have two houses in different state with mortgages. Our secondary house in other state is just under my husband's name and I included the mortgage billing with my application. Our primary house where we're living right now is just under my name and I included also the mortgage billing in the application. It seemed that it didn't bother them. Though, I send as much billings I can with both our names in our primary house address. Just don't forget also your tax return (I got RFE because I forgot to send this), if you filed jointly, your name and your husband's name appeared on that document with your current address (assuming you didn't move from other places since last tax season).
