yeah that's fine I'm aware of that. On my first visa now. First extension due next year. I'll start 12 monthly deposits (for the following years extension) the month before I apply for my 1st extension using the 400k.
my first extension isn't due until June 2024. Yes I'll start the monthly deposits during that year. Only 400k for me got another 15+ years before I'm on the OA visa. Hopefully things change by then aswell.
when using the income method can you also use the money that you deposit each month. Or does it have to remain above 40,000 each month. My salary will be a lot more than 40,000 going in every month.
