Yeah, looks like we picked the right area. OK thanks. I did see online that I could post with either pay pal or my US debit card with both Ikea and Maisons du monde
Wow, I didn't think about that. We have a codice fiscale, but no italian bank acount. I thought I read we couldn't even get a debit card without established residency.
We have our visa appointment on Friday in Houston. From talking to the Consulate in Hawaii (they are the only ones I can get to answer the phone) they stated there's no set in stone number. It's totally subjective, but the guideline is $50,000 liquid. However, it's much less according to the minister of internal affairs webpage: http://www.esteri.it/mae/en/ministero/servizi/stranieri/ingressosoggiornoinitalia/mezzi_finanziari/tabella_mezzi_sussistenza.html She also said, different consulates have different guidelines.
