Hello guys,
I've read many posts with conflicting information regarding Proof of Funds (POF) and would like a little bit of clarification if possible. I think I can mostly narrow it down to two explanations:
1. You DO NOT need to have the required amount in a bank account for 6 months prior to POF submission (6 month average is less than required amount). You show your last 6 bank statements, however, only the MOST RECENT bank statement should reflect the required amount for your particular case and you WOULD be approved because you satisfy the requirement.
2. You DO need to have the required amount in your bank account for at least the last 6 months prior to submission (or an equivalent average). This would mean that even if on the most recent bank statement you DO have the required amount (but you didn't have it on your other 5, (i.e. you have been saving money and you just reached the required amount on month 6), you WOULD NOT be approved because you just have one month with the required money.
Which one of these is it? Please advise. I understand that this is a forum not a place for legal counsel or anything. I just want to pool opinions around and see what people's experience is with POF.
