1st annual extension of my 1st Non-O based on retirement at CW yesterday, everything went exactly as the group explained so Big Love to youse ❤️
Arrived early to get passbook updated/copied and complete forms then document check before being processed promptly at my 0930 appointment time, finished by 1000 and passport returned before 1030.
Only snags were - me not knowing passbook only gets updated if you make a transaction (so had to repeat after using ATM), and I didn’t have any insurance documents printed but none were asked (though this requirement is stated on the criteria sheet which I was required to hold up when my photograph was taken - see attached).
Thx for everything (again) and just wondering - does it complicate matters if I choose to reduce my bank balance from 800k to 400k within the “3 months after extension & 2 months before next application” conditions or is it advisable to just always maintain >800k? Also is it true that my first 90 day report (Feb 23) can only be done in person??
✌️🇹🇭❤️
