ORIGINAL POSTER
Has any U.S. Citizen that is *not* a resident or citizen in Australia applied from Australia? I knew someone (but she was an aus citizen) who said they only checked her bank account proof for day of but now im seeing it say 3 months of bank statements and 6 months of income statements. Maybe they’ve changed the policy since she applied last year though. I had been thinking about applying in Australia.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The post inquires about the application process for U.S. Citizens not residing in Australia and the bank statement requirements. It mentions a past experience where the requirements seemed less stringent, suggesting a possible change in policy since then, requiring three months of bank statements and six months of income statements.

Most reports are from Australian nationals and it seems a recent top up to 500k was acceptable, visiting nationals from other countries might not be afforded the same leniency or timelines.
