that's a way of determining length, how clever ! but doesn't answer the question .

How long it it ?

@Angelo **********

1%....thats interest ?

actually 0.9 % in some.

@John *******

That which is monthly must come from abroad. If the diff between monthly and savings is in Thai bank , it must remain there, under same conditions as would the full 800k, or 400k married.

Example..50k/ mo DD

would req a 200,000 nest.

Combination =800k

Get as much done in US as possible.

@Angelo **********

1% or less

@Angelo **********

monthly income

Monthly income ( pensions, social security. Other country govt retirement plans )

@Chris ***

you dont need an Agent..throwing $ away. You have funds deposited, at Every Immigration office there are volunteers to assist, they are excellent.

It's not a difficult process, I suggest after 1st year switch to mo income method...very easy, and not leaving any large funds in a bank with no interest.....best of luck.

It really is easy, and the learning curve will be invaluable for your future.

@Randy *******

recommend the bus, same amount of time.

The savings pays for the rest of your day and night entertainment.
