affidavit of support

[De & Al 0]

When I submitted the affidavit of support I stated that I had a savings account with only 500. in it, I did not know how important this was going to turn out to be, they are sending me a request to send them a letter from the bank, I called today and that is what they need, a letter stating how long I have account open and how much do I deposit in said account. I owned a home that it’s worth over 450K, and it’s paid for, I have tow jobs and make way over the PRT Line, what’s up with this????

Didn't you send a letter from your bank with your affidavit of support with the amount of money you have had deposited into your account for the past year? I know I had to have my bank write me a letter with the amount of deposits for the past year because I think they want to see if there is any fraud and someone is paying you so they can get their visa. That is just my opinion but I don't think there is a big issue just have your bank write you a letter with the amount of your deposits on their letterhead.

No I did not get a letter from the bank, I did not think that I had to, I have over 450K in property and my salary if over the line, I don’t care about sending them a letter however I called the bank and I won’t have the letter till about the 11th and I don’t want to wait, I explained this to the operator at the NVC and she said to send them a letter stating that I don’t want to use my savings in the affidavit and they wont include it.

Ack! I'd be interested to find out for sure if this is automatically suspected if a modest account suddenly has a big balance.

I understand the need to assess the possibility of fraud, but it's a catch-22 for the honest. If we're expected to act like a married couple and combine our assets, then of course the balance in the USC's accounts will rise quite suddenly and significantly, and of course the money will be from the foreign spouse! And if it's a brand new marriage, the likelihood of a sudden influx of cash is high, anyway. We got a ton of monetary gifts for our wedding, many from well-wishing friends and family who specifically wanted to assist us with this process. Ha! So I guess now we're looking mighty shady!

I don’t think that that is the case is only because when I was doing the affidavit of support it asked about the savings account, I don’t have to worried about the amount that is in my savings if any thing it is almost nothing because my son starting college this year, and my husband been in Cuba, he doesn’t have nay money every thing to do with this process has been paid and will be paid by me including his medical and his air fair.

What's up with it is the way they like to have things documented. You included the money, but not the documentation? You also don't say if you included + documented the real estate.

Seems the reviewer just breezed by the whole 'two jobs & way over the PG'--you included the asset, the robots want to make sure it's properly documented.

You may be able to use old bank statements in lieu of a letter--the letters can be hard to get sometimes.

Or, like the operator said, just send a letter saying you don't want to include your savings in the AOS.

Yes, she said that if it was hard to get the letter them to right a letter to them and have the saving excluded from the affidavit of support, however I cant seam to e able to do the barcode that she told me to make sure that the letter has a barcode.

[girl 37 7]

Do you have a barcode from your previous correspondence from them? You could try photocopying it, then cutting it out and pasting it on your letter.

De & Al,

I suspect that meauxna is on target. The people at the NVC do not evaluate the I-864 package, they merely check it over for completeness. The evaluation is done by the consular officer who processes the visa application.

You provided a bank account figure but provided no supporting documentation. The request for the info may seem unnecessary since the amount you have in the bank is not significant and not important for the case, but that's not a determination for the NVC to make.

send them a letter and request that they do not include the savings in there decisions

That's what I'd do, but you have to decide for yourself.
