Affidavit of Support Question

[KristyD 4]

Hi there,

One of the part of information I need to show with my Affidavit of support is the following "Statement from an officeer of the bank or other financial institutions with deposits, identifying the following details:

1. Date account opened

2. Total amount deposited for the past year, and

3. Present balance

My US accounts don't show when the accounts were opened. Do we just have to request a letter from the bank or what have people done in the past? Also I have many different accounts, will they need this for all?

You will need it for all the accounts you are using as proof of income and/or benefits to meet the requirements. Yes a statement from an officer of the bank. Not just a standard print-out. It needs to be on official stationary and signed.

Just tell them what it's for

That is the question, are you using these accounts as proof of income, or are you able to meet the minimum requirements with just your salary? I know when I did this, I only used my salary along with a letter from my employer and copies of my last two tax returns for proof.

If you are using savings/checking accounts for proof, then as already stated, call your bank and request a letter telling them why you need it. I had to do this for our ROC and it was easy.

Good Luck!
