Hello All,

Now that Samuel and I are married, when can I begin to add him to bank accounts, and health and life insurance. Do I need to wait until he is an LPR?

Thanks

It typically depends on your insurance companies and your bank. I added my husband right after we got married to my insurance. I think my bank required a SS# though. I would start calling now to see what information the companies require.

Thanks for the congratulatory wishes. It was a good day and we had fun. Remember on July 4th I mentioned that we had a lot of Ghanaians at our home. Well it turns out that one of Samuel's friends wife is familiar with VisaJourney and they were there as our witnesses. It was a blessing to have them be there for us.

Small World!!!

Congrats! Make sure you read your insurance booklet or call them. Most health insurance plans only allow you to add a spouse within a certain time period (60-90days of the wedding). Life insurance should be no problem if you want to add him as a beneficiary or take a policy out for him.
