Bank Statements

[GJen 9]

Hey y'all

I'm getting everything ready for my ROC package and today I went to get our bank statements, but we were told my name wont show on the statements, that only the primary shows up, which is weird because I know other banks show both names. So all they could give me was a Summary which does show both our names, but it doesn't show dates or anything. We explained out situation to the person who was helping us and he talked to the manager and they said the only thing they could give us is a letter stating that we have an account n their bank. So they gave us a letter stating that we both have account and that we're joint in both of our accounts, he also stated that we've had those accounts for the last two years.

I'm a bit worried now, I dont know if that letter and the Summary of our accounts is enough. Any feedback will be appreciated. Thank YOU!

As long as the letter is in bank stationary, with some contact info in case someone wants to verify, it should be ok.

Is this a local bank or a major country wide one? Mine has this letter specific for immigration that shows names, dates and average balances in the last 60-90 days.

Also, it is not one specific prove of financial commingling but a variety of documentation: health insurance, car insurance, deed of homes, leases, id's showing same address, etc

The joint names show up only if the account is joint and if the immigrant spouse just a authorized user, then it won't show up. But the letter showing that the immigrant spouse an authorized user is alright - ask bank to state from when it was made joint/ authorized. Also add 3 - 4 statements spread ove that period.

Also if your other evidence of inter-mixing of finances - like joint ownship of house or car or ... is good, then this should be fine.

Thanks for your feedback. Yes, the accounted is joint. We talked to the bank and they said even though our accounts are joint both of our names wont show up in our statements. I did think it was weird and I mentioned it to the person helping us out and he said its just the way that bank works :S... he was nice and offered to type up a letter for us stating that we're joint in the account and gave us summaries of both of our accounts where we're joint. I really hope this will be enough. I'm also including my wife insurance where I'm beneficiary, Our car insurance, apartment lease and a letter stating we've lived here for the last two years. we're also including both of our driving license showing same address and electricity and cable bill... Do you think this is enough? what else should I include? we do own a car, but its only her dad and her name on it since she bought before we were married.
