Separate bank accounts at green card interview

[NicoleS 189]

Can you guys share success stories of getting through the green card interview with separate bank accounts? I posted a few weeks ago about USAA not letting me on my husband's bank account and after doing the w8-ben 3 times, 2 questionnaires, they have THE NERVE to ask me to re-do the w8-ben and an explanation for why I provided an address in Canada - HOW ABOUT BECAUSE THEY ASKED ME FOR A FOREIGN ADDRESS AND SAID ON THE PHONE TO JUST PUT MY PARENTS ADDRESS. But Whatever. I'm not even convinced it's the right form since I'm a resident alien and not a non-resident alien. So done with USAA. Every agent says something different and it's just ridiculous at this point. We will combine finances once I have my green card. My EAD is mailed and I already have my own US bank account (through RBC - a Canadian bank). Guess that's where my pay will go into starting next week since USAA doesn't want my business.

 

Ugh, rant over. I hope you guys have some success stories to cheer me up over this horrible customer service experience I've had (that started in December, that's when my husband first tried to add me to his account).

1.Not a must you have same account. There are couples who don't. They still get their GC.

2. There are many other ways of proving bonafide marriage that you can use.

3. If you're still adamant, Bank of America will set up an account for you real quick.

Much ado about nothing

We have separate bank accounts and were fine.
