Has anyone applied for the DTV through the California, Los Angeles consulate? Per their website instructions, only one monthly bank statement is required, showing a minimum of $17,000 ending balance. Is this an error? I read elsewhere three monthly statements are required?
Answer summary
The original post questions the bank statement requirements for the DTV visa application at the Los Angeles consulate, noting a discrepancy between the consulate's website and other sources. Comments suggest that while the consulate currently specifies just one monthly statement showing $17,000 balance, other sources indicate that three months of statements may be the requirement due to recent changes. It is recommended to directly contact the consulate for clarification.

Dca Dca Yes, that has not changed on their current website. I did check the Washington DC embassy website, and their instructions require bank statements for the last three months. I guess LA has an easier requirement. I don't normally keep a $16,000 balance in my bank account, as it doesn't pay any interest.

As you go through the process of applying, you get to the page where they ask you to upload your documents. On that page, it will be more specific. As you proceed, you can save your pages and return later.

I have applied for a different visa and they are really good at responding to email. Send them an email but don't ask if it's 3 months. Just ask if it's a 1 month statement. It takes less than a day for a response.

The rule changed on August 31st so maybe they haven't updated it yet

If that's what they ask for I'd just supply it, if they want 3 months they'll come back and ask for 3 months
