Thanks for your reply, Mudcat. I'm glad to hear BOI may be willing, conditionally, to accept CD's and presumably, money market funds, to meet the self-insurance test. Or so it seems to me based on the snippet of their reply to your query. If so, the BOI will have proven itself reasonable and praiseworthy for avoiding a senseless hurdle to the LTR visa.

Hello Mudcat, I'm in the same boat -- hoping BOI will accept my Roth or other IRA money-market funds to meet the self-insurance requirement of maintaining at least US$100,000 in a U.S. (bank) account. Would you mind letting us know whether you've had any further dealings with BOI about this? As far as you may know, is BOI now accepting Roth and IRA funds to meet the self-insurance test provided 12 months of consecutive statements documenting the minimum $100K?
