Hi, every body
I am international
Student doing Aos , Is anybody know if the officer will ask about the financial support and howmuch the lower limit for accepted financial support.
I am MPH student my family sending money for study every month around 2500 ds per month do u think its accepted for me and my wife( she is doing AOS as well)
Thanks everybody
In my understanding and based on my experience,
USCIS wants to see those documents (i.e. bank statement, w-2 etc) because they want to make sure that applicant is financially independent.
The worst thing for them is that applicants will need governmental financial support after they start to live in the US.
In my case, my lawyer included bank statements for the last three months and an employment letter containing length of contract and salary information to I-485 packet, but no W-2 or tax info.
The interview letter mentions to bring W-2 and tax info for the last three years, but my lawyer said they are not necessary in my case.
in fact, it is very rare that USCIS will check with IRS according to my lawyer.
(although I will bring those info just in case)
For you, if you are F-1, and if you dont have taxable income in the US, most likely you dont have w-2 or tax info, so bank statement showing you are getting money from your parent? regularly is the best proof to show you are financially stable.
I also searched what is the lowest amount of money in a bank and acceptable for USCIS AOS, but so far I could not find the info, my lawyer also cannot give me the info either. This is because there is no fixed guidance of how much is enough and how much is not.
I guess how much money is necessary to live in the US is depending on where you live an how you live.
hope this helps
