The first thing we did when my husband (then fiance) came was get him an iphone. If you do that he'll start getting mail. He doesn't have to be your family to be on your account.

The second thing we did was get him his social security card after two weeks of being in the states so his i94 would be in gov files and they would find him. As a k1 visa holder he is allowed to get one now. That's another thing coming in your mailbox addressed to him!

We didn't have any problem getting our own bank account. You don't have to be married. If they need proof of residency, use where you currently are. Is he staying with you? For our case, my husband is living with me in my parent's basement. We plan on moving out after our religious ceremony but right now and at that point that's our residency even though it's temporary. So we used that address and he got a debit card and access to our checking account no problem.

When we got bank statements, and his social (which is a federal mail i think) we could use that for him to get his license when he was ready to take the written test.

Those were our step by steps that we did and he was able to get everything he needed to establish himself. We also got married a month after he arrived and then we just went back to the bank to change my name, and SSA for my social, and the DMV for my license.

Let me know if that helps and feel free to message me if you want more details!

Add him to the utilities bills. Get a library card.
