Urgent questions for ROC prep

[Nishris 16]

1. Is grant deed along with mortgage and homeowner's insurance enough proof for new property we both purchased? I am the conditional resident and my name is only displayed as first and last name on these docs. I have a middle name as well which is my maiden last name but is not displayed on these docs, would that be a problem. Do I need to mention anything in the cover letter?

 

2. Me and my spouse have joint bank account since we got married before filling AOS, I just realized that the bank account shows my maiden name and not married name, would that be an issue? I am going to try and get a letter from bank saying we hold joint account since xyz date with both our full names on it if possible. All the previous joint account state are with maiden name would that cause issue!?

 

3. Have all utlity bills but on some of those the bills it just has my name without middle name. Under the account authorized user is where I can see spouse name. Would bills in my name without middle name and account details page to show spouse name be good for submission. Should I only submit utility bills if they have both names.

 

4. Docs like license, passport, ssn, tax, medical insurance has full name so hoping that should be enough.

 

 

Appreciate your response and feedback.

In theory, missing middle or use of maiden name shouldn't be a problem.

 

You may consider updating all of your banks etc though with your current name. At least when you apply for N-400 you'd be able to show updated documentation.

 

Are you submitting joint tax return transcripts?

Thank you @OldUser

 

Yes, we have joint tax return transcripts with fill names on it.But again has previous address. This year with our new home address we have not filled the tax return yet.

 

Also have full names on insurance, 401k beneficiaries.

 

Should I provide any explanation on cover letter for maiden name on joint account?

 

By the way should utility bills be submitted that have both names on it, usually I setup the service provider and they put only one person’s name on the account that shows on bills

If you have a couple of utility bills with both your names on them, then just submit those.  If you don't, then submit one with your name and one with your partner's name showing THE SAME ADDRESS.  The reason for having these particular docs is yes, to prove financial togetherness, but even more important, to show you live together.

 

Having an explanation of your maiden name in a cover letter will not hurt.
