Letter from bank stating myself and my spouse are having joint account with the bank.

Also do we need to nortarize the affidavit letter?

Thank you

You rather send full bank statements instead of a letter only as just the letter shows nothing. I can open up an account in every US bank with my wife and get a letter, that doesn't mean we are financially Co-Mingled. You have to send full statements showing deposits and withdrawal proving your financially co-mingled life.

Thank you

You should send copies of your monthly bank statements as proof of joint account. I sent 4 per year, spread out quarterly, for a total of 8 statements. A letter from the bank is pretty much useless as it doesn't show your account activity for the past 2 years.

That is not entirely true as some had submitted just the bank letter and got approval.

However, I personally wouldn't take the chance. I would do both - the bank letter and the statements. The bank can usually tell you exactly when you became joint account holders and whether they think you are in good standing and the bank statements just shows you are actively using the account.

One rule of thumb I have come to learn when collecting evidences for ROC - get as many evidences as you can, even if they seem redundant.

Get as many statements as you can. I had used the quarterly statements method when I submitted initially. However I got an RFE. So with my RFE response I submitted pretty much every single month - not including those I submitted already. Whether or not that helped contributed to my eventual approval, I will never know. I thought I had submitted sufficient evidence the first time around but obviously it wasn't.

It's your choice to decide what you want to submit but you also run the risk of potentially getting an RFE. And that won't be up to you but up to the adjudicator.

Good luck!

ROC Journey:

4/24/13 - Submitted I-751 application

4/26/13 - I-751 officially filed

6/11/13 - Biometrics done

8/14/13 - Rec'd RFE

9/21/13 - Submitted RFE response

9/23/13 - RFE response rec'd at VSC

(about 2 months later)

11/21/13 - Service request via Tier 1 submitted

12/11/13 - Response to service request rec'd - vague info about processing times

12/12/13 - Service request via Tier 2 submitted

12/10/13 - APPROVED!!! (letter rec'd 12/14/13)

12/16/13 - 2nd Service request response rec'd

12/17/13 - Card production email/text rec'd (online case updated)!

12/24/13 - Notification rec'd via email regarding card mailed on 12/23/13 (online case updated as well)

12/26/13 - 10-yr card rec'd!

One thing I have learned on this journey:

There is no such thing as an "overkill" evidence package. Submit anything and everything you can. Who knows what will prevent you from getting an RFE.

That's great, however if one has a choice of statements or a bank letter, the statements are the way to go and 4 per year is more than sufficcient. A letter would be a last ditch effort, say if the statements were eaten by the dog.

This is the same argument on whether affidavits matter.

All I'm saying is submit as much as one possibly can. If one's not sure about something but it's possible, just do it but do it with other back up evidences. I wouldn't say don't send the bank letter. It may not be necessary, but it also won't hurt.

Again, at the end of the day it depends on who adjudicates the cases. You just never know.
