United States Immigration & Financial Requirements

1. Passport: All applicants must provide a copy of the biographical page of their current passport.
2. Certification of Finances: The Department of Homeland Security requires ³ÉÈËAVÊÓƵ to ensure that international students have sufficient financial resources before issuing a Certificate of Eligibility (Form I-20). All applicants must show proof of financial support for the first year of study and demonstrate availability of funds for the entire first year of study via the Affidavit of Financial Support and Bank Certification. The Affidavit is a document signed by the applicant's sponsor (the person who will be providing the funds) stating the amount of funds that she/he will provide for the educational expenses of the student applicant. A bank official then certifies that the sponsor does have that amount of funds in his/her account. This form represents an obligation on the part of the sponsor to provide the required amount of funds as indicated on the form. Please see "Estimated Costs of Attendance for International Students" to determine the amount of funds needed to be written on the Affidavit.
3. Transfer Students: All admitted students currently in F-1 visa status who are intending to transfer from another U.S. university must notify their current school so that the SEVIS transfer process can be initiated. A Form I-20 from ³ÉÈËAVÊÓƵ cannot be issued until the current school transfers the SEVIS record to ³ÉÈËAVÊÓƵ.
