12 months POF request from Detroit - Seniors please advise

[igtar]

Hi Guys,
Need your advice and/or opinion – check this out:

Few days ago I got my medical request forms from Detroit office along with letter saying that they expect to finalize my case without personal interview . However they checked one of the boxes on a bottom of this sheet:

-Please submit the documents indicated on the “Required Documents List”

I'm required to provide “Updated evidence of funds for settlement in the form of all bank statements for the past twelve months”.
I called my bank and will have those by the end of next week but the question/concern I have is why 12 months? I read a lot of forums here and the most I've seen for POF is 6 months worth of bank history. Is it a common request for Detroit office or am I getting special attention? Has anyone else experienced or heard of that? Please share your thoughts. I would truly appreciate your constructive responses.

I don't think any x number of months is standard. it could be just what the officer wanted.
Anyway, the good news is that once you show those 12 months, you satisfy that requirement. So don't worry about whether you are getting special attention or not, either way, once you show it, you have passed that requirement.

Good luck.
