Letter from Bank for Jamaica Interview

[Matt&Kaci 3]

I have read that a letter from you bank is not required if you make well above the 125% poverty line, you have copies of your 2008 W2, 2008 tax returns, 2009 W2, 2009 tax returns, company check stubs, and a letter from your place of employment. Is this true?

If you are planning on using assets, then a letter would be needed.

If your income can satisfy the requirement - then all you need is to show that. (with the evidence you listed above).

Some embassies want more, so it would be a good idea to check their specific requirements, but that is what the State Department FAM states.

A letter from your bank is not necessary if your income is 125% above the poverty line, all that is requires is a letter from your employer, 2009 tax return and W2's.

I suggest you post your questions in the Jamaican forum since every consulate may vary. However to answer your question you do not need a letter from your bank, you're fine as long as you meet the poverty guidelines by 125% as the other user above mentioned, along with your most recent paystubs and w2's.

We didn't use anything but our taxes and w-2's for 3 years and an employment letter. We had no other assets. We made above the 125% poverty level as well.
