J1 visa stamping - Do I need to show financial assets and bank balance in home country as they do in B1/B2 ?

Or the DS 2019 has the stiphend mentioned on it to convince the VISA officer ?
 
Hi ,

The ds form for a j-1 visa is like a I-20 for an F-1 visa .. It clearly mentions the amount and funds which will be paid to you and it also mentions as to how much it would cost you to support your self in the united states..if your funds are less than the amount it would cost you to live in the U.S , then i would recommend you show the bank balance worth the deficit...

I don't think the visa officer will ask you to show the assests as they feel that accepting a j-1 visa means the candidate is showing a non-immigration intent..
Good Luck.

No unless the DS mentioned that you are self funded during the J.
