Confusion with joint bank account and comingling

[davendale 10]

My wife (cpr) filed for removal of conditions in September. We sent a decent package including joint tax return transcripts, life insurance documents etc. We also sent some joint bank account statements. We opened our account together two months after her arrival in US. My concern and question is this: we dont have much in the way of utility bill evidence so far as the bills being in both our names since we intended, and in fact did move into a house that same year. But all of the utility and other bills drafted out of our joint bank account. Does this constitute financial comingling? It is our only bank account and has both our names and our common address. We also have separate debit cards both attached to that account. I use online bill pay for most all the bills and they show on every statement. Will this be ok?

you should be fine; your finances are co-mingled as you have a joint account, and your bills will show you at the same address, even if they are not in both your names.

Ok thank you, I didn't really think it all that necessary to switch all of the utilities since I pay them online through the joint account. But it seems there is a lot of emphasis on utility bills on this forum and I'm afraid we are lacking in that department especially early on. We have more now in our names.

No utility bills are really not that big of a deal. Joint credit cards, checking/savings accounts, leases, mortgages, titles, etc... are better. Wills, MPOA, are also good especially just to have in life.
