Well it appears we have another debate: Is the Bank Letter Required? YES or NO. :lol:

I am thinking that it all depends on the financial situation of the USC. I imagine that if USC is making less than $24K a year, he might be required to submit more evidence of financial standing like bank letter. If he is making well above $30K then W2, ITR, pay stubs and employment letter would suffice but that is just my opinion. No one really knows what the consular officers are thinking.

In my case, since I want to minimize my chances of getting an AR, I might as well get that bank letter because if Mr. or Ms. Consul is having bad hair day he/she :girlwerewolf2xn: can ruin my day as well :lol:

My fiance paid $30 for his bank letter. Gee, these American banks! $30 for a letter!? :wacko: My bank here in the Philippines does not charge me a single cent for a simple letter like that.

You guys need to change banks, mine was free as is my checking, atm withdrawals, funds transfers, checks...etc. I hate banks that use my money and then charge me to use my own money. Ken
