Does immigrant with a permanent visa need 5,000 in a bank account to come to the us

There is no requirement that a person immigrating to the United States have a certain amount of money in the bank unless immigrating through the investment visa program. An immigrant through a family-based petition will need typically be required to submit an affidavit of support to demonstrate he/she will not become a public charge.
