Would having a joint bank account with my husband in another country affect my domicile to the U.S

[dephomega 1]

Me and my husband live together in brazil as I am a resident. I wanted to build more evidence about our relationship financially. I want to add myself as an account member to his bank because I wanted to show the government that he send me money to pay for my need and sometimes groceries.( I cant do my bank since chase Bank doesn't allow foreigners to do that). I've been afraid to get an account because i don't know how it will affect my domicile to the U.S however I want to show that my husband supports me financially. It would be harder for him to send me money through western union it would be an unnecessary circle of proving my husband pays for me. Should I join his account? And will that negatively affect my domicile?

commingling of finances is not needed unless immigration feels the marriage  is suspect

he can add u to his tax return with a W7 and supporting evidence /that will  help show marriage is real

You not residing in the US is what's negatively affecting your compliance to the domicile requirement.  What documentary evidence of ties to the US do you currently have, other than your citizenship?

You don't have domicile to the US as you don't live there.  How could being added to a bank account negatively affect something you don't have?

Well were a young couple so we dont have much to our name you know? Its a bit difficult to prove our marriage financially and I dont want a reason to be rejected for lack of financial ties. Also what is supporting evidence?

The strongest evidence of a bona fide evidence most newlyweds have, is evidence of time spent together in person.  You're living together.  Concentrate on that.

As in I have an allowance since I was going to school full time and didn't have a job he gives me money to pay for things that I want and need. But I wanna show that he gives me money as an allowance to show comingling of finances.

So he can't do the w7 cause A.) Hes the beneficiary  B.) He can't do taxes in brazil because he didn't make enough to do the taxes. So are there any other ways to prove financial evidence??

USC should still do iRS tax returns this will be requested by NVC at that stage/if not US income ,  USC will need a joint sponsor

if u r the USC,  u have him fill out the W7 to add to your returns

 

confused?   he sends u money 

who is USC?   do u live in Brazil together now?

 

most do not have to prove commingling of finances/u need to show time spent together-/ a real relationship

Relax-u are overthinking the commingling part

 

USC needs US residency

US income or promise of a job when USC returns home

a joint sponsor lined up that is willing to do and sign a I 864 and provide his/her IRS transcripts

Okay so since I'm( the usc/petitioner) a full time student I already have a co-sponsor. We live together currently in Brazil and I dont plan on leaving without him. I have an allowance which he gives to me but i want to show proof that he gives me money. He doesn't send it to me because we live together i just use his card, but what I meant was that I want to prove that he pays for me in terms of the allowance he gives to me (maybe like adding my name to his bank and possibly having my own card to show that he gives me money and I spend it on my wants?), and finally I do have a job waiting for me. Thanks so much for ur help guys btw. Ik im overthinking it but sometimes thats better than being unprepared.

That is not comingling.  Just leave it out.  You live together.  That's PLENTY of relationship evidence.
