13 FAQs Questions about Bank Statement for F1 Student Visa

A bank statement is one of the mandatory documents necessary when applying for student visa (F-1).

Many student visa applications get rejected for providing fake financial documents. Still up to now, it’s unclear for many upcoming students how much bank balance must be presented and how does student loans help in getting visa approvals.

The format for bank statements for visa is same as bank statements used when submitting graduate school applications (avoid these 11 college application mistakes).

But an important question is, “How much bank balance must be presented and how important it is to have transactions in my bank statement that I’ll present?” If you are wondering to find the answers, they are all here.

There is no magic, miracle or or rocket science involved behind one’s bank statement, but it does certainly affects the decisions on student applications for studies in the U.S.

It is very expensive to study in some universities so it’s almost impossible for all parents to present financial documents to show that they can capable to shoulder the cost of education.

  8. I don’t have enough money with me to show in my bank balance, can I still get visa?
  9. Some suggest going through consultancy agencies who will deposit money in one’s account in exchange of some commissions. Can I get my bank statement in that way?
  10. I have a fake bank statement, can consulates discover that the document is fake?
  11. Do you have samples bank statement, I-20, and fund flow diagram?

  3. Seriously guys don’t come to the US. Things are very bad here. If I was not married to a US citizen I would have gone back to India a long time ago. I am an engineer and trust me finding jobs is very, very difficult. The US Immigration Office is now cracking down on all the consulting agencies that used to hire Indians, making it even more difficult for non-Americans to find jobs. Some of the Indians born in the US are actually moving to India to find jobs! Really it is a complete waste of your time and resources! I would actually suggest looking at other countries like Canada or Australia as they have more lenient immigration policy. I am not saying this to prevent you from coming to America but I am writing this so that you look into this further before you waste your valuable resources!

    1. if you think you can decrease competition for you and your husband by discouraging indians from going there, grow up. shame on you.

  4. Hie, Wanted to know if for US -Graduate School admissions (phd)do we have to show financial statement for 1 yr ie.take the money with us ? What abt the rest of the years.?Please reply

    1. HI ,

      If your course is for 2 years and lets say your I20 says 14 lakhs / per year- Tuition + cost of living .
      In that case show some amount in ur savings account about 10 lakhs or even less – and rest bank loan .maintain this for a while in the account and for the second year you can show FD , Bank loan . etc of about 14 lakhs .

      Hope this clarifies

  5. NEEDS URGENT REPLY!
    Hello.

    I had proved that i have enough funds when applying for my school. It is stated on my I-20, “bank letter on file” that i have enough funds. Do i still need to bring a bank statement or will the words on the I-20 suffice?

  6. hi..

    i have FD of 15L and i got a loan of 12L “based on this FD “. can i combine both and show as 27L for visa interview?

  7. hi HSB,

    I have been following this blog and it is really great and full of information.
    My Question
    i got into a well reputed university with partial tuition waiver (40% for two years) . My parents are unable to sponsor my education. and furthermore my father is retired ( no regular income… has some savings and property). My uncle ( father’s friend) wants to sponsor my education. He owns a business and his annual income and assets is well beyond what is required. The only problem is that he is not my relative. He is providing me with all the documents ( bank statement, company portfolio, total assets, company audit reports and many other documents). What kind of questions should i expect during my interview?

    my interview on 4th june 2012 so any feedback would greatly help me..thanks

  8. Hi HSB,

    I have a question same as point 5 mentioned above.

    I had submitted a bank letter to the university for getting my I20.
    It has all the information like – name ,a/c no , funds available in savings account, bank seal ,etc..
    Can I use the same letter for my visa interview aswell? I had taken this letter on 21st april 2012 and my visa would be scheduled by the end of June 2012.

    please reply.

      1. Thank you HSB for the reply .

        The problem is , I had arranged for funds during admission ,got the letter from the bank and I withdrew the money after few days.
        Looks like I need to repeat the whole process once again 🙁
        Is it mandatory to show the V.O our pass book/statement for the last 6 months of transactions??

        As of now I am planning to show some amount in savings in savings account and the rest through bank loan , hope it is fine.

        P.S :- Few weeks back I had posted my research results on UTA vs IIT Chicago , was waiting for your reply on that 🙂
        I have decided on UTA but still it would be great if you could reply to that post .

        Thanks

        1. Question is not mandatory or not, but What if hey ask for the passbook? They have asked for the passbook during interview.

  9. Hi,

    My i20 shows that I need to have 64000 USD for 2 years. I have enough funds for the first year. For the second year, my sister who is sponsoring my education plans to take a loan of 7.5 lacs and provide the rest from her savings that she can easily make in the next year. Her annual salary being 13 lacs per annum and her husband who is also a co-sponsor has an annual income of 22 lacs.
    Will it be okie to say to the VO that funds for the coming year will be provided out of savings my sister and her husband makes and partially through educational loan. I shall have their salary slips. Please advise.

    1. kulwant yeah older funds also acceptable and yes they dnt care abt your funds whether you get that from loan or personal investment…. so, dnt worry 🙂

    My dad is a manager for a company and his monthly salary is around SR.12000 + commission equivalent $4000… He is earning around 20000 riyal totally per month nearly somewhat $6000

    His current balance around $45000…. he has allocated $20000 already for my degree.. you can say as a deposit…

    I want to get the visa easily, i mean my dad can pay even the full amount but the university saying to pay after i come there… How should i prove that i can pay for my year tuition fee…

    Im planning to do the ELS program before my undergraduate so that would improve my english and american education style… is that fine? because my intention is to study and nothing else, how can i convince the visa officer…. I dont want to work there at all… My real intention is just to complete my degree..

    Advise me!

    Thanks.

  12. I have no clue why all of you are spending so much money to come to the US. There are absolutely no good jobs here, even for engineers! Even if you do get a job, it will mostly be low paying jobs and absolutely no job security! It is JUST not worth it people! Save you money and invest in real estate or stocks with the interest you will be spending on that money. You will get greater results than trying to come here and live the American dream!

    1. so why you are living there if the US is that bad?!!!!!You are weird.Anyway,thanks if you are trying to help,but I think no one is short of mind not to make his/her own decision.

    2. I completely agree with smitha. After spending 8 yrs in USA i came back to hyd and settled here. Truly i am more happy than i was in US. There is always immigration sword hanging on you whether you are on F1 or H1. No jobs for engineers and some available in IT sectors. Even after paying tax to their govt we are considered like a alien. Guys wake up from American dream dont spend so much of money.

    1. @Renee – Getting US visa is in your hands. Do good preparation and get all the documents right. answer questions confidently. Good luck.

  58. Hi I am applying for my MS in the US for fall 2009. I have about 15 L as svings in my parents' accounts. But I am NOT going to use these to fund my education; I will be taking a student loan. The loan comes through only after admission whereas the bank statement has to be sent now. Is it ok to show these 15L as funds for the loan statement, but use a different 15 L i.e. the loan amt as my actual fee payment? Pls help it is really urgent. Thank you.

    1. Yes, that perfectly fine. You can use your parents 15L while applying for admission. But, I doubt student loan alone will help you get visa. you might havr to use 16 L your parents have aswell as student loan for visa.

  70. Hi,

    I am applying for fall 2009, for Graduate program (Phd) in Biological Sciences.

    I would like to know about the Bank Statements as i need to show loans as my source of Finance.

    As Banks say they cant give a statement till the University confirms the admission,how can i send my Application to the University without the Bank Statements,as it is one of the rerquirement of the Application Kit that needs to be sent.

    Please advise me for both UK and US Universities.

    Please also tell me what other Financial statement can be presented.

    1.Does property papers can be shown.

    2.Can my Brother who is in US,show his savings as Financial statement for my studies

    Thanks and Regards

  71. I was self-sponsor for my study in US. I shown the bank statement for all 3 years at my college and got i-20. So, will I have to show my bank statement during my study at college again ? I mean, if my i20 issued for 3 years, so, at the year after that will I have to show the bank statement again ?

  72. Hello sir,

    Please help me out.

    Shall I have to show more money in savings account?

    I did't have bank loan.

    Waiting for ur relpy,

    regards, Ramesh.

  73. @Ravi,

    I hope, you have read the article in my blog about Fake Bank Statement and Visa was canceled. Having said that, most of them do what you have said. I cannot advise you on that, if thats right or wrong. Good luck with your Visa.

  74. Hi

    i am ravi

    i am trying for fall 2008

    now i am showing my bank statements and loan letter from a bank

    i know a financier who has links with bank manager.

    so what he said is he will be showing the perfect transactions from last 6 months.

    he will be depositing the money i.e 10L or more depending on my fee structure and the money will be in my account till i complete my visa.

    and he said that he will be providing me the original FD's so as to show and even an letter from bank manager explaining about the FD source's.

    Can I go with him.will there be any thing else to check out? So that I won't be in risk later.

    2 of my friends had followed the same procedure now they are in us they tried for spring 2007

  75. @G

    As far I know that is possible. When applying for admission, you will have to specify both your parents and uncle as your sponsor and get both of them to sign an Affidavit of support. So, when I-20 is issued, it will say your parents and Uncle as sponsors. If you want to clarify this, best way is to send email to International Office to any university you plan to apply and find out. But, I'm sure you can do as I said.

  76. My dad is funding my tuition expenses and my uncle is funding all other expenses(like..living expenses..etc)..
    so..is it ok to hv 2 fin. statements and 2 affidavits of support?

  77. Can i get the bank statement of my uncle or my brother to show as a proof( if they sign an affidavit confirming that they are ready to fund my education)?

  78. @ Vamsi

    It usually not recommended to deposit money before 10 days, unless you have good reason to answer the question, if VO asks where did you get so much money? But again, if your visa is by en of this month, you don't have a choice right?
