After looking after my bank statements and seeing a three week period that my deposits were electronic she asked me “How can we give you a permit when there is no cash deposits for periods of time?”
I had to show my CC statement showing the cash payments to that.
I’m not trying to be offensive ocean but ... true story!
I don't doubt that that person said that to you. But that's not the experience most have. How long ago was the interview you describe?
