Hey everyone,
So I am applying for a long stay visitor visa in DC in a couple weeks, because I'm getting married to my fiancé in Toulouse this July, and want to stay there with him (he originally got a job and was going to move here, but the French air force refuses to let him out despite having a job offer elsewhere, go figure). I of course would have preferred applying for it here in Atlanta, but apparently they are booked for the next three months straight.
Anyway, my question is about the financial guarantee stuff for the visitor visa. Has anyone else done this? Do you really have to give them your bank statements for the past 3 months, or is there some other alternative that is acceptable? My fiancé's already gotten for me an "attestation de bonne tenue de compte" from his bank, as well as an "attestation d'accueil," stating that he is basically having me stay with him and will be financially responsible for me. Could I also do something from my bank similar to an "attestation de bonne tenue de compte" or is my visa going to be rejected if I don't provide that for them? I just find it an incredible invasion of privacy, having to show them every single thing I have bought in the past 3 months.
Thanks in advance for any information you could provide me with, I really appreciate it.
