OP, I am actually changing from money in bank to income.
I have the 800k in the bank and I also started the 65k transfers when obtaining my current extension last October.
I will be able to show compliance to money in bank along with 12 months of deposits.
Then next extension use income method.
Thinking your friend will need to start over.
Border bounce visa e empty entry and obtain the Non O at local immigration office showing his 12 month of transfers
