Hi...we are doing aos from k1.  Right now, we are trying to put my wife name on the lease to prove that we are living together.  However, the landlord would not put my wife name on the lease because she does not have a state id from the dmv.   Has anyone been in this situation?

Does she have a social security #?  Some land lords/management companies won't allow anyone onto a lease with a SSN as they can't do any proper background checks or verify someone's identity, which can put others at potential risk.

1. Get a state ID, (non DL)
2. They should be able to accept her passport
3. Apply for ITIN for time being
   1. If she has, get tax transcript that shows you are MFJ
4. Add her as next of kin beneficiary on financials
5. Add her to your health insurance from work
6. Joint checking/savings account statement

 

Write a letter that the landlord is unable to add spouse till he/she gets a State ID and/or SSN hence you are unable to provide lease information.

Yes she does and we provided copy of her ssn to our landlord.

We are trying to get a state id (non dl) from the dmv.  However, we were denied a non dl state id.

Most likely you have to wait for the EAD to get a State ID, it's the same as with a Driver's License. 

 

You don't need to send any proof at all apart from your marriage certificate with the actual AOS package. You likely won't need much proof (if any) at the AOS stage at all, USCIS knows you've only been married a very short time so they don't expect much. So don't worry about that. As soon as she gets her EAD she can get an ID and you can add her, and if you get an AOS interview after that you can just bring the lease to the interview.
