Seems like there are quite a number of threads regarding imminent interviews and the required bone fide marriage evidence. Do you think that IO's care about how much is actually in joint accounts - or is the important thing the fact that as a married couple, you actually have one? Thanks!

Considering that you are using joint accounts to prove that your lives are mingled, just a few dollars in there might even look suspect. If you are going to present evidence that you have joint accounts, I think it makes sense that those accounts are actually used.

We do have more than one account but by the looks of the checking account, it didn't look too healthy on one of the statements that we have to bring with us! I am a stay at home mother (so no income right now) and my husband is well above the poverty limit, we do online bill paying via another account - but I just wonder how much the amount in accounts matters, if any...

I think it is important that you have joint accounts and that you use them. It doesn't matter how much is on there. :no:

At my interview they looked at our bank statements. They could see that we both are using the account.

It showed his income and our spendings on grocerys, utility bills, copy written checks, etc.

It didn't matter that the account was almost zero one or two days before my hubby got paid again. :P

ROC - approved 08/2011
