bank verification letter for i-134

[Melina+Rodrigo 2]

i got a verification letter from my bank on feb. 28th for my i-134. I've since deposited about $2000. And i want a new letter to show the new balance. But now with some new bank policy they can'tj ust print me one like last time. They want immigration to fax them a letter or something.

So my question is will the month and a half old letter and a current bank statement be sufficient or will the embassy need a more current letter? Our interview is in a couple weeks in Chile.

also, the bank gave me a stamped version of my last statement and some other account statement on the company letter head when i went today.

Very strange as the BANK works for YOU. It's YOUR money. Do you have online access? If so you can print out current activity and submit with the earlier revision. Hope this helps.

that's what i plan on doing. I just wanted to make sure the letter i got a month and a half ago was still good to send to the embassy. we emailed the embassy in santiago and asked them their opinion. They've been so

helpful to us with other issues so im sure they could help us if there are any more issues.

has anyone else had issues gettig verification letters from the bank or had to have USCIS or NVC or the embassy send the bank and letter or fax telling them to give you a verification letter? What did you do?

Are you needing to use the money in your bank as an asset to make up for a lack in your income? If you qualify with your income alone, then the bank letter and statements do not really matter. Prove your current income with a letter from your employer and most recent pay stub(s). If you need to show assets, then you can use bank statements to show the activity and amount in your account. Go back 6 months to a year in order to show you did not just recently deposit the money to use for the I-134.

Yes, I do need the money to make up for lack of income. I didn't even come close to the poverty guidelines on my tax return but then again, I was a student last year. I just graduated, I have 2 jobs now and expect to make more this year ( I doubt it'll still be enough). I can go back to August with my bank statements with my current bank. That's when I moved to Florida and opened my accounts with them. But I have been making large deposits with my bank since August because I was either:

1. transferring funds from my old checking account to the new checking/savings. My old checking account is still open but not very active.

2. My fiance as been slowly but surely bring up some of his savings to deposit in my account to have on hand while we're filing for AOS and waiting for the EAD.

So in a way, the recent deposit was for the i-134, but even if we weren't at that step in the K1 process, I would have made the deposit anyway for the same reason listed above.

Also, I my dad is co-sponsoring me and my fiance. He has a sufficient income as well as stocks and bonds for assets.
