Thank you so much for the replies. The South Korea holiday is sort of paid for by the company. He's gonna be sent there so just gonna meet him there for the weekend before October which is too faraway. :( so good deal for free hotel, food, and taxi. hehehe... we're still building up on his savings, but he has a very good job. Can a good paying job compensate for so-so savings? Also, if we're applying for the visa in October, how current should hisbank statements be? April - September?
