Affidavit of support question again!!

[Kat And Russ 0]

Hey guys

I am aware my fiancee has to provide a notice from his bank regarding certain infomation for the affidavit... Can this just be bank statments and a letter from the bank showing when the account was opened? Or does it have to be provided in a differnet way?

His bank is being very difficult about giving us, history of his deposits in the last year, so we thought it would be a lot easier to just show bank statment.

Thanks everyone

I got a statement from the bank and they stamp it and signed and attached a biz card - that was it. Beleive they are more concerned about the income level verified by the tax returns than the bank account. good luck

We havent been asked to show anything to do with tax just bank history..... so I need something to do with tax?

Does your fiance earn enough to put you at 100% or 125% of the poverty level?

If so, does he have paystubs and employer letter to back this up?

If he does, bank statements are not needed.

Or if you are self employed, then you need to have copies of your tax return to verify income. In most cases, at the interview, you will have to show more completed financial information, to include tax returns.

Does he have Bank of America? lol

I had a problem with them. I'm just bringing the proof I have from when I opened up my bank account & my pay stubs say direct deposit so there is my proof.

Your fiance should bring his last 3 tax returns/W2s, letter from employer, pay stubs, bank statement, etc. with the I-134.

See below for instructions of submitting the I-134 Affidavit of Support. My bank also refused to list the total deposits for the year (may be the same back as your fiancé!). It is not a problem. Have him enclose a few recent bank statements AND whatever letter the bank is willing to give (at least stating when the account was opened and the current balance).

As others have stated, the most important is proof of sufficient income. Have your fiancé get a co-sponsor if he doesn’t make enough. Good luck!!

The sponsor must submit in duplicate evidence of income and resources, as appropriate:

A. Statement from an officer of the bank or other financial institutions where you have deposits, identifying the following details regarding your account: 1. Date account opened;2. Total amount deposited for the past year;3. Present balance.

Don't know if this will help, but could you print off some transactions from online banking, if he happens to bank online? I used this to show deposits made when I put in child support checks and to show direct deposits of my salary. I printed off a couple pages to show a month to a month and a half of transactions. No account number was showing of course. My bank did type up a letter stating that I have an account there, what my average balance was for the month and for the last year. It didn't take her more than 10 minutes to do this. Don't know why some banks are so hard nosed about this.
