I-134 evidence - bank statements?

[bauser 0]

Regarding the bank account evidence used to for the I-134 Affidavit of Support application:

A. Statement from an officer of a bank or other financial institutions where you have deposits, identifying the following details regarding your account:

1. Date account opened;

2. Total amount deposited for the past year; and

3. Present balance.

I was wondering how exact other people have been with their applications at Montreal... did anyone actually request a written statement from a bank employee, or were your monthly bank statements enough?

I got my fiancee to get a written statement from the bank, to be safe. It took a few days for them to put it together. Since that's what they specifically ask for, that's what I brought.

R's bank actually has a standard letter that they use for this purpose... it basically states what the account balance is, what the average account balance was over the past 12 months (showing that you didn't just get a sum of money as a loan etc.). We walked in, they printed it off right away and then guy stamped and notarized everything for free. It was quick and easy!

Thanks again. I'll get the proper statements so I can stop worrying about it! 1 month to go...
