Hi guys,

My fiance has started gathering the documents we'll need for the embassy interview. It's very soon but since he's abroad on deployment and needs to het his documents from the states he wants to be sure there will be no extra delays afterwards. we only just got our NOA1.

Anyway, that statement from the bank that you need to present with your I-134 (I think that's the form don't have it in front of me), how recent does it need to be? If it's dated, say today, and the interview is only in March, will that still be okay? Or is it better to wait at least a couple of months more?

Thanks!

If he is in the military it think he can complete it as soon as he can, the military has a help line for him as well as USCIS.

In Arizona its hot hot hot.

I'd like to know the answer to this as well ... for non-military, that is. (I'm sure the expedition due to military makes things move a lot faster!)

I'm starting to gather my materials for the I-134 and have heard that Chase (my savings bank) might balk about that letter, so I was thinking of going in this or next week to get it started or see if they're going to be nice and easy about it. If they do give me a letter right away in November or December, but our interview doesn't end up being until March ... is that a problem?

We're not having it expedited since we can't risk my visa expiring before he's actually ALLOWED to get married :-) When we started this process we weren't even aware that you could do this.

However, I did call the consulate here in Belgium and they said that such a bank statement is valid for one year. If you do it now it'll be valid till November next year.

Cass, if you edit your Timeline and add the correct service center, you'll get a more accurate estimated date of approval.

If your receipt number starts with EAC it means Vermont is processing your petition, if it starts with WAC it's being processed by California.

Wait whyyy do you need a bank statment/?? Do you have to have some kind of savings for you to do a k-1 visa?? I thought all you need was like a paystub to show proof of income?

Check on the embassy website in your country, it might be different. But on the embassy website in Brussels it says you need this:

Statement of an officer of the bank identifying the details of your account(s): date opened; total amount deposited for the past year and present balance.

It's just a quick trip to the bank if you do need it.
