Oh Lordy…look at the extra mile they went thru to discourage people. You gave them the right? Do you mean consent to disclose the information? Did your lawyer made you sign any consent form on behalf of USCIS? Because I believe utility companies may give out information if done via proper channels. But banks would not comply as it is very strict compliance and to get someone’s banking information it falls under something very specific I do not recall the name for activities such as investigation, surveillance etc.
This is what’s on Justice.gov
STATEMENT OF CUSTOMER RIGHTS UNDER THE RIGHT TO FINANCIAL PRIVACY ACT OF 1978
Federal law protects the privacy of your financial records. Before banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, credit card issuers or other financial institutions may give financial information about you to a Federal agency, certain procedures must be followed.
Consent to Financial Records
You may be asked to consent to make your financial records available to the Government. You may withhold your consent, and your consent is not required as a condition of doing business with any financial institution. If you give your consent, it can be revoked in writing at any time before your records are disclosed. Furthermore, any consent you give is effective for only three months, and your financial institution must keep a record of the instances in which it discloses your financial information.
Without Your Consent
Without your consent, a Federal agency that wants to see your financial records may do so ordinarily only by means of a lawful subpoena, summons, formal written request,or search warrant for that purpose.
Generally, the federal agency must give you advance notice of its request for your records explaining why the information is being sought and telling you how to object in court. The Federal agency must also send you copies of court documents to be prepared by you #1th instructions for filling them out. While these procedures will be kept as simple as possible, you may want to consult with an attorney before making a challenge to a Federal agency 5 request.
Exceptions
In some circumstances, a Federal agency may obtain financial information about you without advance notice or your consent. In most of these cases the Federal agency will be required to go to court to get permission to obtain your records without giving you notice beforehand. In these instances, the court will make the Government show that its investigation and request for your records are proper.
When the reason for the delay of notice no longer exists, you will usually be notified that your records were obtained.
Transfer of Information
Generally, a Federal agency which obtains your financial records is prohibited from transferring them to another Federal agency unless it certifies in writing that the transfer is proper and sends a notice to you that your records have been sent to another agency.
