Thanks a lot. I’m going to follow your advice and just start a dummy application to learn the exact requirements before doing the actual application.

I’ve considered this but my paranoia has me concerned that once I enter ANY info it will be forever connected to my identity and if it’s not perfect I’ll be hung at dawn. Do you mean enter a dummy name, etc, just to learn exactly what the requirements are?

It’s a very well known online bank. But I have to be SURE my high yield savings account will meet the visa requirements.

I stuck $25,000 into a savings account in a well known online bank. Will this not meet the requirements? Yikes!

No investments but a fair amount of equity in my house and land I’ll be selling in June. Meager SS and a little $$$ buried out behind the barn. 😳

Which consulate? I’ve always read the process takes two weeks or less. How long have you been waiting?

Do you mean if my current balance meets the requirement of about $25,000 that’s good enough? I mean if the account had only a few hundred in for the past month or two?
