I-134 Confusing wording "Savings banks"

[maning 36]

I know this may sound like a dumb question, but when they say "savings banks" do they simply mean banks in general and not just savings account only bank accounts?

Anyway,

I have most of my money in my checking account and rest in savings account. Do I really have to move all my money from my checking account to my savings account for the USCIS to count my money as support? I make above the 125% poverty, but I like to play it safe and add my money in my checking/savings accounts and real estate property as evidence of support just in case something comes up.

or can I just list add up my checking and savings account and just add it to line 7 of the I-134?

You don't have to use any bank information if your income is above 125%. You can use just your current income.

No need to move your money anywhere.

Hey Inky,

I know I can just use my current income to be approved, but I'm just the type of person who likes to play it REALLY safe and do things twice more. I know I'm over doing things, but it's helping me keep sane while doing this whole visa process.

Just get a bank statement or a letter from your bank stating how much money you have there (savings and checkings, same difference...).

Thanks, I keep all my bank statements and plan to get a bank letter before the visa interview.

We got a letter from my wife's bank listing all her accounts and the amounts in each account as of the date of the letter. that worked perfectly fine both at the visa interview and at the AOS stage.
