ROC and bank accounts

[Rocio0010 5,579]

Hello everyone,

my husband and I have a joint bank account since the start of our marriage, and we do use it all the time. For practical reasons, we need to close that account and open another joint one with a different bank. We have to file for ROC in January 2022, and I was wondering whether I should wait to switch banks until after that. My reasoning is: I don’t want USCIS to think I’m lying by presenting two bank accounts, when in reality we would only have one.

 

Does USCIS really care about this? Or can I go ahead, switch banks now, submit all bank statements and add a note explaining why they come from two different banks?

Not a problem......Just include statements from both accounts.

Ok. I was just wanting to make sure whether it would be a problem, because the two accounts won’t be active at the same time. Hope I’m being clear.

The goal is to show evidence of financial co-mingling over the period of the marriage, so multiple accounts won't be a problem.
