I-130 financial documents

[Penguin_DE 0]

My wife and I are getting our documents together to apply for the I-130. We opened a joint bank account together about two years ago, but we never really use it and we only use it to occasionally transfer money between us. There is no money in the account right now.

 

In this case, is it worth including our joint bank account as a supporting document?

 

Should I put some money in it, or will that look suspicious ahead of applying for the I-130?

 

We also have our marriage certificate, lease agreement, utility bills, photos, correspondence and affidavits.

No reason to include the joint bank account, if you really haven't co-mingled your finances.  Throw those affidavits away though.  If you have joint lease and joint utility bills, and live together, you have it covered just fine.

Brilliant, thank you.
