    RQ - Bank and credit statements - Advice

    Which is somewhat ironic, normal people would want to apply ASAP to start the process, so really nothing wrong with that, even though I can see why Otherwise, what's a safe "waiting period" after crossing 1095 days? 30 days? 60 days? the rules may change by then, or fees going up (which it DID...
