Congrats on the marriage girl. Did you decide on the festival thing? About adding hubby to the bank account, have you considered opening a new one for both of you with your new last name? I'm sure some institutions make take longer to make the name change so starting with a new account should be fine. I don't know where you bank, but many banks allow you to add another account under the umbrella of the main account with little or no problems. INS really only cares what you have to show down the line and that you have joint accounts. They don't care if you added him or opened a new one. Whadya think?

The longer it takes to introduce yourself the less you've actually accomplished

I agree with Chispas on that. I intend to keep my own account and have a second new joint account with my SO.

I would not add him to the house right away and do minor accounts such as credit cards, utilities, phones, health clubs, library etc.......and health insurance of course.

The paper war never ends does it ^_^

Gracias Omoba,

Ricca you still have quite a bit of time ahead of you to ease into the paperwork trail so most of it will come naturally as you begin to live your life together. I have a list of steps to take somewhere, but I can't find it now. When I do find it, I'll try to post it.

Take care

Chispas
