If you are concerned about getting an RFE, now might be the time to get a joint bank account. Also, add both of your names to the bills in the new place.

Yes, you should wait for a RFE to submit what they ask for. And it is prudent to get your bank accounts joint, as you will be able to have 6 - 9 months of joint statements, if you get a RFE for that. Hopefully, you may get an approval.

What about a situation where you don't have a joint account because the petitioner has destroyed credit, and is afraid of getting his bank account attached/garnished? We have kept our bank accounts separate in order to protect my immigrant wife's credit, although outside of the banking system, we share all our money and everything. When I submitted removal of conditions, I therefore did not have this to include.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Jon

You can do surivorship on the non-USC's account. I think you can add the USC as a signee, but I'd want to check on whether they can seize the account in that case.

You guys just scared me!!! I can't believe every couple has joint bank accounts, my parents together 20 years and their accounts are separated!!! Does officers do credit check?? they just can see where did you live by SCN,right? or they don't do that??

USCIS looks for strong evidence of inter-mixing of finances. And joint checking/ saving accounts are not the only evidence they are looking for in this area. As long as you have other good evidence of inter-mixing of finances, you should be fine without joint checking/ savings accounts.
