Hello all.
My spouse (US citizen) and I (British citizen) are to begin the green card process soon. We are both resident in the UK. Regarding the Affidavit of Support, we plan to use my savings as cash assets. We meet the minimum amount required.
Currently, the savings are in my own bank account, not our joint bank account.
1. Should I transfer the savings into our joint bank account, as my spouse is sponsoring me? Or is it fine for the savings to be in my own bank account?
2. Since the savings are mine, my spouse’s recent IRS tax return (married filing separately) does not list the savings. If we do transfer the savings into our joint bank account, are we required to list the savings on my spouse’s next tax return?
