Hello Vjers, just a quick question? Does look bad having already a bank account in the US while waiting for I-130 approval? I opened one in 2009 than closed...2009 I took sabbatical leaving from my work place and spend 5 months in the US and in 2011 open one in Florida with Bank of America.

Comments are very welcome.

I can't think why it would. Most people try to establish a joint account as evidence of financial commingling.

I don't have any expert knowledge on the matter but it sounds like a good idea to me. As long as the bank allows it, I can't see a problem.

USCIS doesn't know you have a bank account unless you tell them. But it doesn't matter anyway if you have one. Read the entire lists of things that make you inadmissable to the US. Don't think having a bank account is on the list.
