Affadavit of Support

[iceyspots 0]

Hi..

So I'm filling out the affadavit of support documents, and I was wondering, does the consulate have to see your account number, or can you white it out for privacy? I don't want to give out the exact account number, but it may be fishy to the consulate to see the document altered... Need your help !!

I don't think you should white anything out. I think they would need it just incase if they want to do inquiry for verification. I dont think they do that but you never know. I wouldn't do anything that would delay the visa process.

Generally, white out shouldn't be used on any legal documents.

I am interested in this too. I wouldnt want anyone to steal my account number. I just had problems with someone stealing my debit card number while I was at a resturant and they had a field day buying things off the net. ($416 of mens cologne, 8 bottles, mind you, and a 900 dollar laptop computer) My bank re-embursed me but it was a big hassle.

So I am very leery to let my account number be seen.

I think you can use a black marker to black things out, at least that is what i heard, but don't quote me on that....we do that in our legal office on legal documents, but I am not sure about immigration documents

I was wondering about this too. When I sent copies of my visa statements for proof of meeting within the last two years it had on it my visa card number and the 3 digit number on the back of the card to verify it, so if someone really wanted to they could do $1000 damage very easy. I pray that no one from immigration miss places it or something since I choose not to black anything out just in case they needed to verify or anything like that. I did though black some stuff out in emails since I didnt think that was as important . ...crosses fingers...

They need a letter from you bank stating when your account was opened, the original opening balance, current balance and amount deposited in the last year. You dont have to supply bank statments but one would assume that your account number would be listed by the bank on the letter.

iceyspots,

I have seen posts by people who write that they have hidden their account numbers with a black marker without negative repercussions.

Adele,

Getting such a letter from some banks can be difficult, expensive, or both. For this reason many people have successfully used copies of their bank statements in lieu of a lbank etter at many different consulates.
