so factor in all the travelling then, every 3 months plus getting the new METV every 8-9 months may require a return flight "home" so not cheap for many
How does it work out cheaper than entering with a Non-O and getting an extension for 1900B each year (and, with careful planning, the 800k is only needed for just over 5 months then 400k for the rest of the first year but, if your Embassy does the income affidavit, there is no minimum bank balance)?
