This is hastily cut and pasted from MSN, so I apologize for the formatting.
getting employment verification, easy
convincing my banks to give me total deposits for the past year in addition to "she has this account, and it's been open this long, and has this much in it", nearly impossible
wells fargo's default letter says "if you require deposit info, contact the customer" and i had to argue and argue with the person that like hell was the consulate going to phone me up and ask me, honestly!?!, and i didn't want to run the risk of them rejecting it based on insufficient info, and i don't care if you have used this form letter for exactly this purpose before...
even if you claim "it's always been fine" how would you know? they certainly aren't going to call *you* for further info; the sufferer would be the rejected petitioner.
commonwealth didn't argue so much, but seemed very confused, even after i pointed it out in the instructions twice, and said well, we can have accounting do that, but it's $25 an hour for the research
hoenstly, they just want the total amount i added to my accounts during the past 12 months. that's got to be like 5 minutes of clicking
the banker at wf finally bowed and looked up every checking statement over the past year and did the math by hand and wrote a separate letter, but that's got to be the long way around
so since CW is now charging me for a service, i'll need to re-total my accounts with whatever the final number is i get tomorrow, and reprint the form, and have that notarized the next day
since i can only squeeze in so much running around before work
so with luck i may be able to get this off to you friday afternoon?
if not, saturday
*crosses fingers*
i left home at 11:00 this morning and was still about 5 minutes late to work. [12:30]
honestly., getting these forms shouldn't have taken that long
why do immigration authorities always have to ask for such goddamn nonstandard information?
