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
A U.S. Citizen in Australia is seeking information about the current visa application requirements, specifically regarding the necessity of bank statements and income proof. Previous feedback indicates inconsistency in requirements, with anecdotal evidence suggesting differing standards based on applicant nationality.

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.
