Will my green card application be affected? 11 Answers as of January 31, 2012

If you are processing a marriage adjustment, it should be OK. The interviewing officers take into account many things. If you are missing a joint lease, but have other accounts, taxes, etc., it should be fine.

Not necessarily however, the lease agreement can be amended to add your spouse.

No it won't if everything else checks out. USCIS is looking to ascertain that you a sharing a life together with your spouse and that yours is not a sham marriage. Good luck!

Although it is unclear from your statement as to the "everything" that you have to show a bona fide joint life, going by the presumption that you have at least 3 individual proofs of a bona fide joint life to submit, the fact that you don't have both parties listed on the lease should not be a bar to having your green card petition granted.

There is insufficient information here. The bona-fides of the marriage are much more than just a lease.

I am assuming that you are petitioning for/being petitioned for through a marriage. Generally, USCIS officers will judge whether or not you have a valid marriage through many factors, including your demeanor at the interview, your answers to their questions, and the documents you bring. They may also take a peek at your Facebook and MySpace pages! Overall, if you and your spouse are married and residing together, the lack of a joint lease is not going to doom your interview to failure. Bringing what documents you have and being truthful to all the questions of the USCIS officer should be plenty.

Lease Agreement is one of the many documents you can use to provide evidence of joint life together, it is not as if a Lease on its own prove anything, the pieces of evidence are considered together, so there is no point being worried about one item out several documents, if you have other evidence as you said, mere lack of a joint lease will not be enough ground to deny your application, especially if it can be explained. Some apartment wont put you on a lease without proper documents that you may not have yet, so no big deal.If your marriage is genuine and out of love and not just for immigrations benefits, there are plenty of ways to prove that , beside a lease agreement .

If you have other proof that you have a good marriage and live together as husband and wife ( I assume this is what you are trying to prove), it may be ok.

I assume you are talking about a marriage based green card. As long as you have other evidence of a bona fide marriage you should be fine.

If you have other good evidence of cohabitation and comingling of funds, the lease by itself is not an issue.
