MUST READ the COMPLETE POSTS . Most FAQ's are Answered at the Bottom of this post.
You will need the Bank Statement in Two Cases .
Case 1 : most of the US Universities while applying to them, saying that you are having sufficient funds to pursue your education at their University.
Case 2 : While applying for US VISA : B-1 - Tourist VISA you have Sufficient Funds for Travel and Staying, F-1 being the funds for the Education . The amount they want is greater than or equal to the I20 ( Admission Confirmation which have Sevis Id on it ) .
For Prospective Students :
First thing you need to know is , how much is the I20 amount for all the Universities you are applying ( make a check list ) .
Secondly , Some Universities do not process your application unless they receive this bank statement . Make a list of that kind of Universities ( among the universities which you are applying ) . Ask them again if they are going to process your application without that statement. ( drop a mail or call them directly using Magic Jack ( free application to call any US NUMBER ) and ask if they are going to process your application . most of universities process application but they will need financial proof ( it could be a bank statement or a Loan Letter of amount >= i20 amount of their Univ. ) to send your i-20.
Here are the Sample Bank Letters :
Thirdly , Coming to taking these kind of statement you have two options .
1. You can make a fake statement with Name as of the account holder : your Parent name,guardian name ( who ever is sponsoring you ) with the amount in the account >= i20 amount.
Make sure you have the Affidavit of support in name of your sponsor ( print the following document on a Rs.10 Bond Paper ( or the Bond paper of your Country ) and Do NOTARY from your local LAWYER where he sign and stamp a seal saying that the affidavit is Genuine). here is the form for that . : https://www.dropbox.com/s/85uvdojcuxeipsa/AOS.docx?m=
2. You can deposit the amount on to your account and go to the bank manager to give the Bank statement of this kind. they will give you.
Finally , You will have to send this bank statement along with your other docs while sending the application.so, take the same statements as per your requirements.
For Business VISAS or Student VISAS the Bank statement and affidavit are same .
*********FAQ's*********
1. I have taken the Bank
Statement while sending applications and i had sent them , they have processed
my application and i have got my I20 letter. Now, in order to book VISA Shall i
take the Bank statement again?
Ans.
The
US Consulate People require statements that are no more than 3 months old.
