Well I jusst got word yesterday that my fiances interview will be May 9th....So I have one quick question as I am beginning to get paper work ready.

For the Bank Letter, what does it need to say?

Date I opened the account

Current Balance

anything else??

You got it!

Printed on Company/Bank letterhead paper. Stating "To whom this may concern"

Bank Account open date, current status, good standing, with Lots of money in his account. Most bank knows what to do!

Good luck

If you have online banking, you can printout online statement summary.

(this worked for me)

Joanna -- my bank would only give me a letter that stated the date my account was opened and how much I had in the account <I only have checking.> And yes, it was on bank letterhead -- I got two original copies.

Since they would not do the total amount that I deposited for the last year -- I made a copy of all my statement and highlighted all my deposits. Then I ran a "tape" to get the total. I stapled the "tape" to the batch of statements. Nobody ever said boo. They took it with the rest of the I-134.....

I am a firm believer that you need to somehow provide everything they are asking for. No matter what form it might come in.

Actually you don't even need the letter from the bank - I qualified based on my income alone and din't include any documents from the bank, stocks and bonds etc. etc. If you can meet 125% of poverty line - you are OK - this is almost universally accepted. Don't worry about it too much if you are including it as a secondary evidence. Good Luck

My fiance just have a small saving&loans account, so we´re not using that, his dad will be his co-sponsor, and that´s what we´re gonna use.

Thanks everyone for you fast responses

....I am well over the poverty guidelines but I think I am going to get a letter from the bank just in case...better safe the sorry...I would rather have too much then not enough. Not sure if my bank will give me the deposits, but if not I will just do like Mindy did and get the statements online.

Well headed to the bank now!!

Thanks

Have you read the guidelines on the I-134?....

Not to be rude or anything but they say exactly on there what they want the bank letter to say. If your Embassy wants anything else added they should have let you know.
