My son is preparing the I-134 for his fiancée in Brazil. He is having difficulty with the "statement from an officer of the bank" regarding funds - although he can provide detailed statements for as long as they want - he has banked with the same bank for 7 years. Thing is, it's an online bank so they won't provide a written statement which is what appears is required according to the instructions.

Any ideas or will the actual physical account statements suffice?

Thanks!

Can he get a statement, or write one, to explain the situation of why the traditional document can't be produced?

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

Haven't tried but can certainly see about it. Trouble is, these online banks, whilst fabulous as a bank, doesn't really have Account Managers the same way as a physical bank - just customer service reps. Shall see and report back. I'm sure this must have arisen many times before!

If your son meets the income qualification requirements of the I-134 then this is not necessary. I submitted a letter from my employer, pay stubs, and an official IRS tax transcript as my support for the I-134 and had no issues. Not all of the documentation listed is required. The applicant only needs to provide sufficient proof that they can support their household and will not become a burden to the government. The only time that these banking documents and bank officer statements would be required is if his account balances were part of this proof.
