Soft power DTV

Looking at applying in a few weeks for the soft power-medical appointment option.

I have my medical certification from the doctor in Bangkok as well as future appointments. I do not work, my Husband’s job is the money that comes in.

Has anyone had any issues with approval for a similar situation? Or is there anything I’m missing that they would need?

*US Passport

*Required money, not a problem

*Will apply from Washington DC.(Have a home in Florida, so I do believe this is the closest location)

Any information would be greatly appreciated. 🙏
