F1 student Visa + Sponsor Requirement

[dba 0]

Good morning all.

I have a question about something related to the F1 visa (student Visa). I want to know if someone is willing to sponsor me. What type of documents they will need from me at the USA embassy interview related to that sponsor. Thanks for help.

They need documents that show they actually have the money to sponsor you - so tax returns, bank statement showing a big balance, or pay stubs would work. They need to show the ability to meet at least the full 1st year expenses, including tuition, fees, room, board, etc.

When I applied, I just sent a bank statement from my sponsor, along with the signed "sponsor"form of my college, where the sponsor pledges that he/she will pay for your studies and living expenses as calculated by the college. If the bank statement is not in US dollars, you might also want to send something showing the exchange rate for the currency in dollars - my foreign student advisor just printed that off of Yahoo Finance.

Thank for your reply. I have a question about some thing you mentioned. What is the Pay stubs??? is it like receipts. Another thing, i see from your signature that you was a J1 visa, did you have the 2 years requirement or not ?

Thanks for your kind help.

Hi DBA,

Pay stubs are what the employer gives you with your salary (may be part of the pay check - the one you don't give to the bank - or a separate sheet of paper) - your income for the period is listed on them, along with any deductions for taxes, medical insurance or 401(k) contributions.

I did not have the 2 year home residency requirement but there is a waiver you can file to remove it if you have it before the adjustment of status.
