Bank account

[danko 0]

I have issues with my wife open a joint bank account because her ex fiancé who is her sons rather ruin her credit spent her money and didn't pay bills while she was working and he was lazy... after bend married for a while she concpvinced. What is better to do for our aos interview? open a new joint bank account (we might have only one or two statements) or just add her on my account( I was thinking adding her on my savings only or on the checking only and then move my money to the other) we don't share our finance and basically share the bills at home. We both have separate account so far. what is the best for interview? Eventually either option won't effect is.

Either of these options would work, but neither is absolutely needed at AOS stage, if you have a lot of other evidence. For example are you listed at eachother's work as next of kin? Have joint bills?

While it is not a big deal for AOS, you better have a joined account for ROC. They do want to see joined bank account statements from the

inception of marriage on to current and the activity therein being a mutual contributor.

Add her to your accounts for AOS and bring some other items proving a bona fide marriage to the interview IF you will have one, you may not.

She should still be able to get a bank account with bad credit. My ex husband and I lost a home to foreclosure, it ruined my credit and I didn't have an issue getting a bank account, my credit was never checked.

I remember I listed her on something like that when getting my DL.

We have joint car insurance, joint house lease, picture from vacation and as we'll from our wedding reception(50 guests) but pictures are thing they might not ask, and she is older then me in 10 years I am 27 she is 37.
