@Wouter ********

I was using my own money, not a sponsorship letter, so I don't know, but presumably that would have a different set of rules and would probably only apply to soft-power DTV. But I'm just guessing, and obviously I'm not the best guesser. :-)

@Michael *******

yes, I thought I mentioned that? Actually it's a page and a half, because the in and out stamps are not done on the full-page visa. Lesson learned, in case I ever come back to Lao PDR.

It's internet slang for "Here is a summary, because the following article could be considered boring."

Honestly I think a savings account would have been fine if it were on my name, as opposed to a business checking account -- but the lady said "personal checking' in no uncertain terms so I'm passing that along.

yeah, it's a USA thing. There are ways to transfer money instantly between US accounts, but they are not the default way, and are sometimes unavailable. For little people, 3 business days is normal. Having lived in Europe and gotten used to instant SEPA transfers, it's very annoying. And yes, I did overthink it.

@Lynnette ******

thank you very much for clarifying, however as I noted the requirement did not specify that it needed to be a personal account.

I truly wish the guy well, I liked him, but I don't buy that: real-estate agent is an occupation. Dude was not flipping condos on his own dime.
