S/EA consulates which accept brokerage statements

Hello, I’ve read about there being a hard rule with the proof of funds being required to be in a checking account. But as some consulates seemingly require different lengths of proof of funds, perhaps some are more willing to accept brokerage statements? Barring volatile assets, I currently have about 80k usd in mmf us government bonds (which has been held for longer than 3 months) and about 18k usd in a checking account for maturing in case securities aren’t allowed.

Thank you for your time and assistanceg

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?
