K1 - AOS Proof of Address

[ScarletWitch6x 62]

Hi there, I have a potentially stupid question. 

 

My fiance is coming here on his K1 Visa in December. I am trying to get everything in order that I can before he is here in order to make everything a bit easier for him. Most banks and other agencies will require a proof of address, and I believe the easist is going to be adding him to a utility bill. I'm hoping/thinking I can get him added to at least one without a SSN.

 

My question is....is there an issue with adding his name to utility bills too early? Would it have a negative impact somewhere along the line?

 

Thank you!

Not that I can think of

My husband just arrived in June 2024 on a K-1 visa. For opening a bank account/ obtaining drivers license - to your point- we needed a utility bill in his name. My husband’s name is on our lease but that was not sufficient proof of address for the banks. The easiest and most straightforward one to adjust and put in his name was the internet! In our area- cell phone, electric/gas/water providers ran credit checks and or needed a deposit if you didn’t have credit score. When talking to the bank the bill actually had to be addressed to my husband, which when talking to the utility provider, having my husband as an authorized user would not add his name to bill, it just allowed him to call in and inquire etc related to the account. 
 

Getting our Spectrum internet bill in his name was very easy - just walked in and updated without SSN or anything else. You may be able to do this online or ahead of his arrival - not too sure!

I added mine to household bills before he arrived.
