wells fargo Bank being difficult!!!

[AFQuaid 18]

Ok, so Andy goes to the bank today to request the evidence needed for the I-134 forms which were:

Statement from an officer of the bank or other financial

institution where you have deposits, giving the

following details regarding your account:

1. Date account opened;

2. Total amount deposited for the past year;

3. Present balance.

The bank manager wrote a letter and signed it stating when the bank account was opened and present balance but couldn't write the total amount deposited in the past year because the way there system works he has to call a customer service number to obtain that info

And to top that off the bank doesn't notorized.

advice please He's gonna try and call this number tomorrow but he's not sure what hes doing. It's wells fargo bank. Anybody got experiance?

About how much money should you have saved for the I-134?

I'm pretty sure the bank letter doesn't have to be notarized. Have him print off all his statements for the amount deposited.

Nah, I meant for the I-134s to be notorized not the evidence for it.

Thank you for ur advice

Have you asked the bank who *they* use when they need a document notarized?

I know in US notaries aren't as thin on the gorund as in UK (where here they are hardly used, and once you find one they charge a pretty fee) - can you not go to another notary with all your documents and have THEM notarize it?

BTW - for Len's bank info (and luckily his bank have more notarys than you can shake a stick at, go figure), he tabled ALL his deposits per month himself, then took that to the bank, who gave a quick check over and signed it. He did it that way cos they said it would take 'a while' for them to do it (from which we assumed they meant they didn't really want to spend hours on it for no fee, lol)

If you have income to meet the guidelines there is no need for the bank letter. Unless you are trying to go on assets there is no need to supply your banking information to them.

I believe you can also take a year's worth of bank statements in as evidence. Those should give a rough estimate of the amounts of the deposits in the past year. 'Do the math' yourself on a sheet attached to the statements right behind the bank letter.

If your bank is not cooperating, that may be the only option you have.

Call your local city hall or county building. Courts also have notaries. I'm just using the wonderful friendly accountant in our office who doubles as our notary.

In Brasil notaries are in a notary house and you pay to get anything notarized. We can't even waltz into our bank to do that, at all.

Awww...Fiona, that is awful.

I too, had issues with them a while ago trying to obtain info from them. I had my mortgage with them, and they were just so...user unfriendly.

Andrew needs to call customer service and get a supervisor on the phone. He can get the letter notarized at a realtor's office. Tell him to remind them that the bank statements are HIS legally, and if they cannot accomodate him as a customer of the bank, he has the option of switching institutions, and he also has the right to report that they are withholding HIS banking history to the Federal Trade Commission - customer's requests for information on THEIR own accounts must be furnished upon request (when requested by the person holding that Social Security number.)

Once they see that they cannot "mess" with you, they become quite agreeable. This is how I had to get my mortgage statements during my re-finance.

Good Luck Girl !

I got my I-864 notarized for free at Wells Fargo Bank. You might want to try some banks or county offices, usually banks will give this service for free.

My bank told me I had to purchase my last years statements and add up the total amount deposited myself I didn't do it and just went with the letter with the info on when the account was opened and how much was in their now and we got approved just fine!

I don't get it... but anyways, if the bank won't notarize it for you then try calling a kinkos and see if they do it it's only 10 bucks.

AAA notarizes too. If you have AAA Plus, they only charge $4.00
