Greencard interview

[ujones 148]

I know we are really early in the game as my now hubby just got here two weeks ago. We are planning to apply for AOS as soon as we receive marriage certificate. But my concern is his SSN , we applied for it but d/t name issues if it takes longer I won’t be able to add him to any of my bank accounts before interview( if we get the interview sooner ) . After reading a recent post on getting interview date in 4 months I’m worried about it. I added him as an authorized user to my credit card but banks are asking for SSN. Any advice to make me feel better ?

You dont need a joint bank account. 

You can use other proof of joint finances.

Health insurance.

Bills.

Lease/mortgage/deed.

Life insurance/wills/401K beneficiary.

Car insurance.

Credit cards.

Gym memberships.

Amazon prime membership.

Anything with both of your names on it.

 

If you are stuck on a joint bank account go to another bank. Not everyone requires an SSN.

 

Do know that all Local Field Offices are different too. 

Some take years.

Find out your LFO and look up YOUR estimated processing time.

As a K-1 adjuster you don't need a whole lot of evidence, especially if you get an interview early on. It's not like the IOs don't realize that the immigrant just arrived in the US and that you have been married for a very short time. There's only so much you can do, they know that.

Also, if you managed to add him as an authorized user on your credit card you can order a card for him too. That way you at least have a credit card each, with your names on them, for the same credit card account.

^^^All of the above!^^^

 

As noted, you are early in the process and USCIS knows this. Gather what you can now (see K1visahopeful's excellent list for ideas--at this point the 401K and will advice stands out to me). You are right to be thinking about this--and it would be great for you start accumulating all of the financial co-mingling evidence that you will need for ROC. Best of luck to you.
