Hi all, hope you are all well. Hoping someone can help me withe these questions please.

1) When you apply for the DTV, do you have to pay for the course up front?

2) If applying with my husband, is it one application and do we both have to have $15k?

3) For soft power, do you select “unemployed”?

Thank you in advance for your help!

No school is going to provide their paperwork for you to get a DTV without you paying first. Also, your application and your husband's are independent of each other.

You pay for the course and submit proof of payment with your application.

What happens if you are denied? You just forfeit the money?

Anonymous participant Some gyms offer a DTV package and will refund the money if you are denied. It's important to choose a gym with a reputable DTV record of approval.
