Bank Statements for H1B stamping

[acevvv]

Hi,

Are online printouts of bank statements enough for H1B visa stamping? How many statements do you need to show. Also do any of the banks provide immigration letter. I just read a sentence on this other site which said that America provides Immigration Letter. I am not so sure on what this letter is about.

Any help with this would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Online printouts of your bank statements are enough. You can also get this directly from the bank where they would put their stamp in the printout if you ask them. Advisable to carry the bank statements for the last 6 months.
I am not sure what immigration letter you are expecting from the bank. Haven't heard of any such letter from the bank.

Hi OP,

It depends with which bank you have account with.

For eg) Citibank US - provides the letter addressed to the Consulate ,India giving all the details like your name , account # , date opened , current balance , average balance - format designed as per the guidelines

So you need to ask your bank whether they provide these kind of letters because in this case you don;t have to carry any bank statements .
If not then as suggested carry the bank statements for the last 6 months.

Thanks and Regards,
