    Buying a house.... Question about title

    in Moving to the US and Your New Life In America

    Posted

    Any way you phrase it, it isn't going to matter, as long as you have proof of living together, financial co-mingling, etc. Do you have joint bank accounts? Are you beneficiaries on accounts and life insurance policies? Do you have any cars you could put jointly?

    Off topic - but can she work on her score? It is unlucky that you are not the USC, my husband just got a credit report opened 2 months ago with a secured card and was able to partially piggy back off my score and has a 740 now.

    She is working on her score, but it is way too low.

    By the time her score comes up to 700's, it may be a while.

    We have a car in both our names, we both have car insurance together we have joint bank accounts, we both have health insurance together, I have put her as a beneficiary on life insurance through my work, we have pics of travel taken together, we both have mail addressed to us going to our current mailing address, which is the same as our drivers license, we both are beneficiaries on each others 401k and we will both have utility bills under our names, once we buy a house.

    If you are an actual real couple, it would be nearly impossible for you to be deported as a result of ROC. I've been around here a while and I've never seen a case, even when people have little to no evidence of this happening. Worse case scenario you get a Stokes interview, but if you are actually in a relationship this will be no problem.

    As per our post-nuptial agreement, my husband's name is not on our house title. This is common enough in my social circle when one party comes to the marriage with alot more assets than the other that I would almost dare USCIS to make an issue out of it.

    There is other evidence you can have of living together - mail addressed to both of you, driver's licenses, utilities, or even affidavits. You do really see often enough here that couples are living with their parents or only one person is on the lease or the title and this has never to my knowledge created an issue as long as other evidence was presented.

    Thanks for this information, but what I am trying to say is, I am the beneficiary with a 2 year conditional GC.

    Usually its the other way around, where the petitioner might now include the beneficiary name on the house together, but I am in a situation where I can get a home loan with my credit score, but I dont want to include her, as her score is bad and it will affect us in the long run.

    You can add your wife to the title by signing a quit claim deed. You can do this at closing on the house. It does not matter if her name is on the mortgage or not.

    Thanks, so if I understand correctly, the mortgage can be under my name, and the title under her name?

    Will signing a quitclaim deed, cost me money, or what is the process and how is it done at the closing of the house.

    Hi Guys, I recently received my 2 year conditional GC in August 2014.

    Now we are looking into buying a house.

    The issue is, my wife's credit history score is around the 500's, we are trying to improve on it.

    I started working in May 2014, and I got approved for a pre-approved credit card at chase.

    I recently checked my score on credit Karma, and it was around the 700's mark.

    I always pay off my credit card, and use less than 9% of my total limit.

    I was wondering, if I buy a house under my own name sometime next year, and when time comes to ROC, will this be seen as unacceptable, seeing that my wife possibly wont be on the house title, if her credit score is still low (We don't want to pay a higher interest rate)?

    If we both go for a joint home loan, we both will be assessed individually and they will take the person's lowest score to give us a mortgage loan, i.e a higher interest rate, which we don't want.

    We would still have joint utility bills under our names, shared accounts etc.

    She is the petitioner, and I am the beneficiary.

    Thanks

    I think there are too many '1' 's in the list.

    That's kind of cool there's an ESTA thingie AND an I-94 - I not know that VWP folk could get an I-94.

    Looks like VJ has played with the numbering frormat.

    I-94 was retrieved online from the website:

    https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/request.html;jsessionid=zxYCSDtPrKrYBxTQZ5vvm2pp78yHlrBCJPL7ZKPBPrLJpMnTLvLX!42230073

    Most importantly, my mate wanted feedback, especially for the evidence, what do you think overall?

    Thanks

    Yes you can totally do it, don't be frightened off by people on here you like to call you a fraudster etc etc. You had no intent when you entered and to be honest after going to an info pass appointment it sounds like immigration officials couldn't care less if you have intent to stay or not. Do it and look after your spouse. Happy New Year.

    Thanks hun :)

    On a side note, I'm glad the ozzies have regained the ashes :) Ozzie Ozzie Ozzie .... Oi oi oi

    Forms required for joint tax file

    So, reading form i864a, part A is information about mother in law.

    Part a, question 8, would be C, and choose parent, is this correct?

    Part 2 is information about the beneficiary, is this correct?

    Part 2, question 13, 1 would be number and in the boxes provided, that is the information about the petitioner, is that correct?

    Part 3 is about mother once again, is this correct?

    And what if the beneficiary makes above the poverty limits, does her mil still fill out an i864a, since the tax returns were filed jointly and live in the same house, which would make the household count to 3 including the petitioner.

    Thanks

    I cant seem to get around my head, what forms and what is required in order for filing the i864.

    Person sponsoring the beneficiary, files jointly with her mom.

    3 total people living in the house including sponsor, mom and the beneficiary.

    Main sponsor makes above the poverty limit.

    She will soon have 2010,2011,2012 IRS transcripts ,6 months paystubs and letter of employment.

    Please help with the right forms needed and if anything is required from her mom too.

    Thanks

    I'd be concerned about intent when he entered the country. Someone coming back to the US to stay with a spouse they previously married could seem a bit suspicious to the interviewing officer, or even someone looking at the submitted paperwork. I'd be leery about filing for it myself.

    No iintent whatsoever.

    Having a read of this thread:

    http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/465167-applying-for-adjustment-of-status-while-visiting-hubby-in-the-states/

    it seems possible, but then again, Im not sure tbh reading.gif

    What would this be regarded as?

    You have publicly posted on a site that immigration is known to come read about your intent to "change your mind" Even though we can't see the address of your computer immigration can in a heart beat. If you continue down this path you are playing a dangerous game and if caught you could get a ban for immigration fraud. I never understand why people think they are special and deserve to bypass the rules and then why they are stupid enough to publish these plans on a site read by immigration.

    OP never mention of planning to "change mind" beforehand, am i missing something?

    Just AOS your status. I am as many do. We do have right to change our minds smile.png

    Good luck to you both!

    No they won't. Getting married on the VWP is perfectly legitimate.

    OP, unless the foreign spouse lied to border security, AOS sounds like a good option in this case. Just make sure there is proof of a bonafide marriage, that is what they are really concerned with.
