Roland –

It seems to me that you have to present your financial background when applying for the F1 visa, which is okay, but what if the graduate program that I’m interested in (and going to apply to) is tuition fee-free

You can call or check the program website for admissions information. Usually, even if you will be given scholarship, you are required to send bank document for admission to get I-20.

moreover, they give a stipend to their students. What’s the case in this situation? Do I have to pay for tuition? Will I be eligible for the stipend being a foreign citizen?
>> Yes, students can get Stipend or Financial Aid while in F1 Visa

The other thing is, as I already mentioned, I’m already in the U.S. which means it would be one hell of a trip to go to my country of citizenship just to get my visa “updated” to F1. Does anyone know of a possibility that I can achieve the same thing without going “abroad”?
You can apply for Change of Status while in US from your current Visa to F1 visa provided there is no restrictions on your current visa nor it’s expired. Best way to find all the info is to call the International office in the school you are planning to apply.

Hi everyone,

this seems a great forum to discuss my problems. I really hope, someone will be able to enlighten me regarding these questions. I’m a foreign citizen, (Hungarian) but I’m already in the U.S. with a visitor visa. I’m currently preparing for my GRE and TOEFL tests which are due the end of the month.

Hi,
I wanted to know if my guardian could show financial statement for me who is in the US, he is not my blood relative and we just momentarily wanted him to show finances for me on his behalf… if that is okay because I thought one could NOT show their PPF, investments and LIC funds. If that is the case then my parents can show finances, however on the certificate of finances for U of Illinois it was clearly written that ONLY LIQUID ASSETS, SAVINGS and CHECKING ACCOUNTS MONEY…What should I do? Should I get my parents to send a financial statement instead…???

Hi,
Its really a tricky situation for any student who is willing to study in US. Showing Bank statement and trying to get money into the bank account during application process really takes a lot.
I have a question on finananial statements that we send during the application process.
Can we show the provident fund money of our parents while applying for universities? Do they consider it to be a genunine document.
Please reply.
Thanks

she was previously on h1b… then the company closed… then she converted to f1. she lived almost solely on credit cards during the transition. so the debt was not “while” in school, but “before”. unable to work fulltime, the debt grew bigger.

a paralegal she consulted yesterday did say that filing bankruptcy might give her problems later during the green card process.
