That's fair point. Sorry for the rather awful response from my end. Maybe it helped that I did provide alternative funding (certificate of deposit with another bank), just to be sure. But there is literally no activity in that bank. I also provided proof about the company (Linkedin, Wikipedia, etc) and reiterated that I will not take any local employment. I honestly think that cover letters have some weight, too. I'm sure Wise would be acceptable if they provide a longer timeframe, include invoices, contracts, literally anything to help supplement the financial capacity claims. Heck, add land titles if you got them.
Anonymous participant 990 I'm not sure, but mine stayed in pending approval, then approved. They asked for more docs same day, which I complied the next day.
If I could weigh in, I added London as that's where my passport was issued. I did, however, add my nationality as Philippines. Maybe the fact that it's a number, that's why they didn't like it?
