Time requirement for bank deposit on retirement extension

[onekoolguy]

I have a retirement extension coming up at the end of March. For the first two years, I used the letter from the USA embassy to verify monthly income. However, this year I have had over 800K in the bank for most of the past year. However it fell to around 550k for a brief period of around a week or two in January when I paid for a condo. More funds were transferred in and the total has been over 800K since. My question is since there was a brief period during the 90 days before the extension is due when the balance was below 800K, will they accept the deposit or should I get another letter from the embassy to verify monthly income? I would prefer not to pay the $50 fee they charge for the letter and would rather show the bank deposit, if acceptable?

It will definitely be rejected if trying the 800k method. There have been reports of leniency if it goes under and back same day but a week forget about it.
