Hi everyone. I have 3 options with my bank accounts. A savings account, a value checking account, & a consumer interest checking account. The savings has hardly any history so it would just be the 500k over last 3 months once I apply, the value checking has some history but not nearly as much as consumer interest checking which shows several very large transactions, however it is interest bearing. Which one is ideal?

I’m a bit confused as far as what type of accounts the “liquid” assets need to be in. Most of my money is an Individual brokerage account with Schwab which I can easily access and transfer from same day as long as it’s not a weekend. Do I need to make sure I have the 500k in a checking or savings account with my bank instead or should this be fine?

When applying for a soft power DTV would a statement from a brokerage account (JP Morgan) work or does it need to be a savings account or checking account?

Hi all,

Regarding the marriage visa B400k bank account balance requirement, does anyone know if this can be satisfied by a CD/time deposit account? Or does the money strictly have to be in a traditional checking or savings account?

Krungsri appears to have a very favorable 4yr CD rate that's also available to foreigners, so I'd much prefer my money not excessively depreciate in value if it has to sit somewhere for this.

Thanks in advance!
