Hello, finally approved after 3 months!!!

Applied for evisa through New York consulate on 12/5.

On 12/12, they requested further documentation of letter of employment which I wrote for myself as I am self-employed.

On 1/9, asked for further financial documentation as my bank account was a joint (2 names) account and the wanted to see $16,000/person or $36,000 join account (USD). Submitted my investment account with stock holdings.

I emailed in February to check on my application, they responded with “your visa in on the list, please wait for approval ASAP”

On 2/21 it was approved.

I thought it was $15k and then $500 per dependant?
