They transferred our Citi accounts to UOB. We used it in Japan and Singapore. If you travel worth considering

BTW I also received my DTV for my wife (spouse DTV) same docs as mine but with a Marriage Certificate, Took 3 days

They are extremely easy to change out. Buy a new one, some teflon abd electrical tape. Take it along with you when you move put the old one back.

@Robert ****

it's good for five years so does not make a difference. I am going in October.

BTW I did receive my DTV, it took two weeks, 8 working days. No questions

Thanks, Same timeframe for me, still in document checking. I guess both places are backed up due to the holiday

Have you considered trying to come to the USA? The asylum process is very open now and no need to go to Mexico you can go via Canada many ports of entry. The USA has an app now that will help you apply. Once you are in USA, there is a large Iranian expat community in L.A. with resources to help you get into school or get a job. Hope you and your family remain safe.

This is exactly the same response from Washington D.C. They are using the same old line, they can not define a valid DTV application, they will know it when they see one.

Yes, it will be interesting to see how they respond. I do view it as a job, as this is how I pay for everything. These days there really is no such thing as "real" employment.

If you are reaching out to the Government official I would appreciate if you can get clarity if a Individual managing his private investment (Stocks, Bonds, Crypto) receiving 1099 year end statements from brokerage accounts, qualify as a "Freelancer" under the DVT rules. I received a rather vague response from the Washington D.C. Embassy, so I am not sure they are certain. Thanks
