are joint bills/statements really that important for an interview? Also, question about travel history document

We were specifically asked for proof of living together (deed with both names) and shared bank account which they went through at the  interview with our debit cards to make sure we were both using the account. At our interview for AOS no one cared about pictures from travels. It was all about the paperwork including tax transcripts. Its very easy to add your spouses name. Id suggest you do it and save some hassle. 

They compared our house keys in ‘08 and we HAD a joint lease

 

Pretty smart actually

 

No pictures from us either.  They brushed ‘em off and concentrated on the good stuff.

we just got married for 4 months when he filed petition for me ( im in the states ). a week after we got married we moved to other states. 2 weeks later after we slightly done with the moving, he put my name to his checking account ( it obviously become joint account), bought used car and put both our name on the registration, put my name on his credit card. that's the only thing that " jointly" that we submit 4-5 months ago. of course tons of pictures around 2 years we are dating.

 

its been 5 months now, and finally i got my driver license, so our address is the same now, we sold our car that we bought 5 months ago and get a new one ( my name its not on the registration because im working and really dont want to go to DMV together with him just for that....we need to be present to have joint car registration). my name still in the car insurance though since both of us drive the car.  i put him under my health insurance because his health insurance is more expensive, rental under both our name.  so the more we co-habitate the more documents we can collect. slowly but sure its getting more docs

This would be typical “household blending.” You’re doing the right things.

The more stuff addressed to the two of you at the same address the better.

yes...for certain thing like mobile phone bill, we didnt even bother, i'm with my friend's plan and him with his parent's. it's already like that before we met.

so we focus on bigger pictures that put weight on it. we just filed w-2 jointly this year. our paystubs shows the same address. 

i think ours is okay. fingers crossed

Hi everyone. My question is mainly about showing joint bills/statements for the interview. We simply don't have many. We have joint health insurance, she's under my name on the gas/electricity bill, she has a credit card under my account-- but that's pretty much it. 

 

My wife has hardly been working because she's in school, so she's not really contributing to payments in any way at the moment. 

 

Also, the interview paper stated that we need to provide history of travel in/out in accordance to her I-94. We tried accessing this information on the I-94 platform and it said it couldn't demonstrate travel history-- I'm guessing because the I-94 is now invalid because she has an advance parole card. Is this a big deal?

 

Thanks.

I had my N-400 interview recently and my IO asked for updated proof of joint statements, bills, etc.

He looked through all the stuff that I gave him and only kept one piece of paper that showed our life insurance together with each other as beneficiary. He mentioned that, that was all he needed and told me that the beneficiary paperwork from investment accounts or life insurance together is a better proof than shared bills or shared accounts.
