Copies are rejected and returned. Originals will be attached to I-20s issued for visa applications and returned to students who are outside the U.S. 8. Every dollar of needed support must be proven through bank statements, proof of the sponsor s income, a lease or deed. We do not care how many sponsors there are, whether or not they are U. S. citizens, or where they live. It is usually easier to get an F-1 visa when at least part of a student s support comes from outside the U. S. 9.
Students can sponsor themselves, either partly or in full.
No affidavits are needed for the student's own money. Recent bank statements in the student s name must be provided, and statements from at least a year earlier to show us that the money was not borrowed and recently deposited. Remember, however, that the law requires financial support for your entire program in addition to readily available cash for the first year. Unless you have enough cash to support yourself and your studies in the U. S. for your entire program, your cash will soon be used up. You will probably need a sponsor with an income to show that you can finance the entire educational program.
