I hope that's the case. Been planning this for years only to have all these changes at the last minute. I have no problem with them freezing the money for 4 months. I currently plan on parking the 800k for the entirety of my stay in Thailand.
so which is it? Are they freezing your account for 4 months after issuing the bank statement or does the money have to be in the account 4 months prior to getting the bank statement?
processing time in the US has been 10 to 15 business days. I got mine in 12 working days. Holidays and weekends make it longer. Mine was processed through the office in DC
