Question Regarding bank statements

[i_love_my_fiance 0]

I'm starting to collect the information needed before I receive my hard copy of the NOA2. My question is regarding the bank statements, do I need an official one from Wells Fargo or I can just print the statements online that I can access through my online banking?

your online bank statement is also considered an official document so if u print it u will see where it has the same information, it will be on a letter head as well as it will have your name and mailing address!

I'm doing the same thing with wellsfargo, best they can do for you is to send you an account verification letter. So I then just looked up my deposits for the past year and copied pasted and printed. Not sure if it will work but it is a true copy of my deposits for the past year, maybe someone here has a better idea.

I had BOFA print off my main acct and I printed off the others. Remember, do not just send a couple of months. Send EVERY one you have for the duration of the marriage that sahows both names or you will get a RFE like many are getting in the past few months.

Actually we're not yet married. I'm applying for her to get a visa to get here so we can be married.

If you income stated on your tax return meets or exceeds the I-864P Poverty Guidelines then you only need to provide your most recent tax return with supporting documents (W2, pay stubs, employer letter), you do not need any to send bank statements or lists of other assets.

My annual income is above the poverty guidelines. It's just that the attorney I hired said I should include bank statements and it also says in the requirements.

I also have my W-2 in the past 3 years in hand and recent pay stubs the past 3 months. I'm just checking here to see what others have done. Thanks!

Your profile is incomplete regarding country and your timeline is blank so not sure where your fiancée is from.

If the embassy in the country you are petitioning states they require bank statements then you give them what they want... always keep the embassy happy.

But I am betting in the instructions letter from the embassy it states "MAY be included"

"Employment letters stating salaries and bank statements may be included to substantiate the I-134. Download Form I-134 at http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis. "

But not required, whereas the tax return is required.

The bank statements are only a couple sheets of paper, so not a big deal to add to the "stack" for the interview.

Sorry about the timeline. I don't know how to make one

Fiancée is from the Philippines.

First things first. For the Philippines bank statements are NOT required if you income is adequate to meet and/or exceed the I-864P Poverty guidelines.

The Manila embassy instructions letter states MAY, not required... Can you include them? Sure. Will it make a difference? No, not really, being your income meets the requirements on its own. What the embassy does want is your most recent tax return, with supporting documents of your; W-2s and recent pay stubs... and you MAY include a letter from your employer... MAY.

For the complete process in Manila click the link in my signature below this posting. It covers everything from NVC to NAIA (airport) when your fiancée flies "home".

To access your timeline, click the TIMELINE in your profile from any post your made. From there look for a shaded box near the top, it will have EDIT/ADD MY ENTRY, click that and you can update details of what country, dates for your NOA1, NOA2 and so on....

All the Best,
