UPDATE: They ended up responding and said I just need to provide a document to show proof of relationship (birth certificate or marriage certificate) but this isn’t what I’ve heard from actual applicants. Not sure if it’s worth it to just try anyways 🤞🏼

@Tod ********

yep just emailed them! thanks 😊

@Tod ********

hmm good point, ok so probably better off to just use my own account rather than this joint account I’ll look into it more. thanks!

@Noah ********

following

Has anyone showed a bank statement from shared account? My mother and I are on the same account and this is the account I will be using for proof of funds. Do I need to be the main account holder on this account or if I’m secondary, it’s ok? The USA LA consulate just asks for proof of relationship (birth certificate) but curious what others have experienced with this route. Thanks!

@Tod ********

yes it says only bank statement but I’ve heard people be asked for tax returns also so wanted to see what others have experienced

Has anyone who applied through the Los Angeles USA consulate been asked to show tax documents or was the single bank statement sufficient? TIA!

@James *******

thank you! Will keep an eye out for updates 😊

@James *******

and when we do the extensions do we have to show the same bank document or we have to request a new notarized statement each time?

Anyone know if the Los Angeles consulate ask for any secondary proof of bank statements or just an account balance is enough? I’ve read the requirements on the website but am wondering if anyone’s been asked to show additional documentation. Do you also have to show proof of a flight out of Thailand? I’m planning to fly home for 1 month to apply and want to time my flights right. TIA!
