You can get an OA visa in the US, enter on that, which will give you up to two years without needing the 800k. During that two years you commence the 65k international transfers each and EVERY month. By the time you reach the end of the two years you will have at least 12 months of 65k transfers. You do an out/in, come back on visa exempt and apply immediately for non-O retirement visa using your record of 65k transfers. Best way to avoid the 800k lump sum

Go with True. That's what I did, had no problem

I hope you didn't use the back to front date format which Americans use?

And handing over your passport! To an unlicenced and unaccountable person! My oh my!!

@Todd ********

There I go making assumptions again! I tend to always think Canadians are as well-off as Aussies! 😆

@Todd ********

DTV is easier. Anyone can get one. They're virtually giving them away!

@Todd ********

He's Canadian. He can use the income affidavit method to prove income. No requirement to use an agent to bypass 800k criteria

DTV is best for frequent travellers. Less restrictive than non-O

To confused posters:- Think DTV. The OP has simply over-complicated his narrative. To the poster:- Just think 180 days you are stamped in each time you enter during the five year period

@Sonny *****

Excuse me! 25 - not 55!!! Of course they wouldn't look at me, and I wouldn't look at them! Most western girls by 30 have turned to fat! Over here there's an endless supply of young, firm women!!
