Changing Banks during AOS

My wife has listed her assets in her savings account with Bank A in the I-864 for my AOS. We view them as supplemental as she earns more than the required amount to qualify as a sponsor, but figured it would make her case stronger and included proof of those assets (account statement issued by the bank).

 

Now that we're married, we would like to restructure our finances, and move our savings from Bank A to Bank B (which offers higher interest, and is our joint bank account). Do you think we should hold off on that transfer until my AOS is approved?

I do not see an issue with moving your savings from Bank A to Bank B. She also earns more than the required amount to qualify as a sponsor. In addition, the account at Bank B is a joint account. Again, I do not see an issue. :)
