Letter from the bank

[Daznconf 0]

I went to the bank yesterday to ask for the letter detailing my account for the K1 visa. The bank manager said she could only fill out a form but she couldn't create this letter. Is there a form for this?

why do you need a letter detailing your account? That's what bank statements are for, print those

I was hoping to just get a letter also, stating total deposits and when my account started and my current balance. My bank basically told me the best they can do is a full ledger, unfortunately. I guess from there I'll just circle deposits and current balance and the date my account was created. Not sure how else to do it. -Tori

If your salary alone meets the poverty guideline, you wont need bank statements.

a bank won;t go through your entire account to write a letter detailing deposits, just print out te statements and highlight what you need to show.

what are you talking about? This isn;t about proving income, they want proof of co-mingling of finances

Co-mingling of finances? This is for a K-1 visa. The petitioner is proving his income and its his supporting document for his Affidavit of Support. Since when did you have to prove co-mingling of finances for a K-1 visa?

I didn't expect them to go through my account - I was unsure if they could just whip up a report with just deposits. And as I stated, I planned on going through the full ledger and highlighting the necessary information. But thank you for being ever so helpful....

Letter from the bank and bank statements are not needed if you are not using assets that you need to provide proof of. If your income meets the requirement, then you supply the I-134, most recent tax transcript and letter from employer and/or most recent pay stubs to prove current annual income.

Uhm, the OP said this was for a K-1. Why would a K-1 visa applicant need to prove co-mingling of finances. This is not a requirement for a K-1 visa.

we asked that from our bank to send with our I-134, this is just to state the date the account was opened, the initial amount deposited and the balance on the same account today, they did that in the same day in the form of a letter. Am surprised your bank would not do that, I think this is asked when you are self employed where a fixed salary is not received every month, not everyone has pay slips every month........which is our case

Thanks everyone for your responses! I will call the main office of the bank and try to get something basic from them. I have already supplied paystubs with plenty of income so I hope this will be ok!
