I-134 What is "(A) Statement from an officer of the bank/financial institution with your deposits"

[Ash.1101 1,755]

For those who have done this!

What the title says:

What exactly is: "(A) Statement from an officer of the bank/financial institution with your deposits," I see what is needed, but I wouldn't consider that a banking statement since, mine at least, does not show when my account was opened, how much I've receieved this year, basically just balance and deposit for the month.

I-134 Affidavit of Support form. Ensure it is signed, with all required supporting evidence. Begin collecting the required information ahead of time, as it can often take several weeks to collect it all. You will need several items (for the above form). Gather duplicate evidence of income and resources as appropriate:

(A) Statement from an officer of the bank/financial institution with your deposits, identifying the following: 1. date account opened; 2. total amount deposited for the past year; 3. present balance
(B) Statement(s) from your employer on business stationary showing: 1. Date and nature of employment; 2. salary paid; 3. whether position is temporary or permanent (also include copies of your last two pay stubs and your previous W-2 for the associated employer if available)
© If Self Employed: 1. Copy of last income tax return filed (or IRS transcripts); or 2. report of commercial rating concern
(D) List containing serial numbers and denominations of bonds and name of record owner(s).

Who should I talk to (my bank obviously, but anyone specific?), and what exactly do I want when I go to retrieve this, is it a form called something or just something they fill out? Asking this so I'm not blind sided when I have to fill this out for my fiance, and to let my co-signers know what to get when we get all of our papers together.

Thank you in advance for your help!

It's just a letter from the bank that they type up for you, not a form, not a regular statement.

Sample letter, adjust it if you want and show it to a bank rep so they will know what you are talking about.

I haven't read anywhere that the I-134 form has to be notarized?

We're doing our AOS on our own and I find it a lot more convoluted than the paper work that was needed for getting the K-1 visa itself.

Please advise re: the notarization of the I-134. Thanks!
