Joint account would be beneficial once you start doing your lifting of conditions. It will be a good evidence of co-mingling and on-going marriage. Husband and I open a joint account as soon as I got here.

It is a good idea to have a joint account for the AOS process and liftting of conditions as Mae stated. Both names on utility- phone bills, rent, insurance, etc. is also good.

Another option is to have three checking accounts. One joint account for family expenses and each have your own account for personal expenses.

Thanks to all for the quick response...

I do appreciate it, maybe we will go with one joint account and i will have my own personal account.
