Is it acceptable to submit my OA Visa application with partial statements and a letter from Charles Schwab?

Question

I'm ready to submit my  application for OA Visa.  Today,  I discovered that Charles Schwab decided not to generate a statement for May for my account..(Investor Checking). (no transactions other than a few cents of interest).

I have been seasoning my 800,000 bhat (equivalent) for months... if I submit statements for March and April and a "letter" from Schwab for balance in May... will I be OK?

Would it really be soooo hard for Schwab to just provide a statement for every customer,  every month?!

The user is preparing to submit an OA Visa application but is concerned about not having a recent bank statement from Charles Schwab due to no transactions in May. They are considering submitting statements from March and April along with a letter from Schwab for May's balance. Comments suggest that valid bank documentation showing at least three months of the required balance is necessary for the application and question the compatibility of Schwab's account type with the visa requirements.

you need an account printout (not a statement!) showing THREE months of a minimum of equivalent to 800,000 THB  in your Schwab account, for the application to a 365-days Non-Imm-O/A Longstay Visa inside the USA. On the printouts, it must be clearly visible that the account is in your name.  You can blacken out the last five digit of your account number

Schwab checking is actually a CMA and not a checking account

Ie a brokerage account with checking option. Doubtful that they'll accept that in any case. Pretty sure that's been posted and discussed many times here.

You would think i could get an online statement... but that's not how schwab works... hopefully their magic letter will suffice (but maybe shifting gears to O is the right plan)... I don't really want to pull the trigger on health insurance and buy a plane ticket and hope for the best (although I just might do that 😉)

Where did you hear that your 8K baht equivalent had to be seasoned?

Can't you get an online statement printed?

Not sure why you don’t just apply for 90 day non o visa then extend it once you are here.

Eric ***** · Answer

I talked to them... they said that since I had no transactions,  a statement was not generated.

That is unusual. I reviewed my account, and the statement is available under the Statements section. Since Charles Schwab customer service is available 24/7, I am curious about what explanation the representative provided regarding the missing monthly statement.
