Blacking Out Info On I-134 Documentation

[TheZilla 0]

Hola VJers

I'm preparing to send my fiance the notarized I-134, the updated letter of intent, and supplemental documentation of my income, taxes, bank info.

My question is: Am I allowed to black out the account numbers on my bank statements, Merrill Lynch statements, etc? Everything else will be visible, just not the account number. I don't know if they keep this stuff, and it makes me kind of nervous to think it would be sitting in some file somewhere or on some desk with my account numbers visible, you know?

Anyone know or have thoughts? Thanks so much

Sure, it is good to be cautious, but also understand that the most important item for identity theft is you SSN and guess what? They have that.

Should be fine as long as it's obvious what you are redacting. Leave the string that says "Account #:" visible so that it's obvious what the information was. Shouldn't be a problem any way, but you don't want to leave the door open for any unwanted questioning.
