Hello, my wife and I met 11 months ago and we got married 2 months ago. I live in Michigan and she lives in California because she overstayed her visa 3 years ago and she cannot get a driver's license here in MI because they do not allow undocumented persons to have one. We plan on moving to FL together once she receives her permanant card. We fly back and forth every couple of months to see each other for extended periods of time. We are joint on every single bank account, she is on my life insurance is and is the sole benificiary of my will and estate, she is on my work health insurance along with dental and vision, we just bought a car together in cash so she is on the title, she is on all the bills jointly here along with credit cards.
