I'm sponsoring my parents' visa.
When I called my bank (Citibank) for the bank letters, they say they have a standard format for conuslate letter which is what they give to their customers.
their standard format seems to contain only following details about the account(s):
1) date on which account(s) where opened
2) current balance
3) account type (checking, savings, etc.)
but I have read, that the letter should also include details like "total funds deposited during last one year" and "avarage balance during last year". When I insisted on these details also to be included, they say just attach the monthly statements. I do have original (paper statements mailed to my address) bank statements for the last 6 months - I switched to paper statement delivery instead of online statements 6 months back intentionally.
Is the standard format mentioned by the bank (along with 6 months of original paper statements) is fine or I should try to get the other detils also included in the bank letters itself?
Thanks,
Shiv.
