If you are a permanent resident, you need to attach a photocopy of your green card. Instructions are found on the reverse of each form. Yes, but an international applicant cannot be officially admitted until full financial verification has been received. You must verify that you have enough support to complete two years of a master s program and three years of a doctoral program. See the second page of Form I-1 for the amount you need to certify.
