Secondly,Will they accept address on the bank statement as a proof of residence,assuming the person applying doesn't have other means to establish proof of residence.
Hi Lapore12,
Below is the link to Indian Consulate Chicago, it clearly mentions Utility Bills as one of the proof of Residence documents, don't think they would accept Bank statements, go through the link,
http://chicago.indianconsulate.com/5OtherConsularServices/2aPCC2forOtherAuthorities.html
Proof of residence:
Any two of these i.e. copy of utility bill (phone bill /electricity bill) or Driving License or Lease Deed (of residence) etc. where your USA address is clearly mentioned should be provided.
Hope this helps.
Rgds
