F1 visa supporting documents

[indus_dude]

Hi folks,

Here's the situation: the person in question is single, but engaged to a PR.
She has admission to a graduate program (M.S.) here in the United States. The total cost of education is aroundabouts US $28000 for the entire program (including living expenses). She can only show personal funds of upto US $10000.

The department chair at the University here has plenty of money but cannot commit to a full tuition assistantship at this time (funds will be available in Fall '05 and only after the grad student arrives in the University). However, after explaining them the situation they said that they could write a letter stating that are willing to offer financial aid upon arrival as typically funds are available starting Fall 2005.

My question is:
Would that work? How should the University word the letter? Do they need to mention the money offered upon the I-20 document as well? What additional supporting documentation does the student need?

Thanks a bunch. I would really appreciate your assistance.

It should.

How should the University word the letter?

I am sure they have a form letter.

Do they need to mention the money offered upon the I-20 document as well?

Yes, it needs to be indicated on I-20, but if they are uncertain about offering the money to her (which is pretty much weird), they probably won't.

What additional supporting documentation does the student need?

proof of non-immigrant intent.

Visa trouble! Super urgent!! Please help me!!

Hi there,

I am I-20 student since 2000 I came in US.

My visa (in passport) will be expired on 8/8/05.
However my I-20 is valid untill 9/18/06.

Do I need to go back to my country to get a new visa before 8/8/05?
If not, will that effect on my OPT in the future or when I try to apply H1 or Perm?

Anyone knows about this??
Please advice!!
Thanks very much!!
