I-20 Sample : Tuition Fees Breakdown
November 11, 2007 by Raghuram
In the previous post, I had listed some common questions regarding bank statement, now I will be answering each question in separate article. In this article, I you can find information about How much bank balance to show as proof for student visa. Is $25,000 enough? Before answering the question, let me breakdown I-20 fee structure with sample I-20 from University of Houston , Clear Lake
Take a look at this copy of I-20 ( UHCL - Clear Lake )
Under Section 7, it will list the total tuition fee for 9 months or 12 months. In 9 months study credits will be calculated for Fall and SPring semester only. In 12 months Fall, Spring and Summer credits will be calculated.
In this sample,
Tuition fee for 9 months = $11,100
Others ( Insurance, Books, ) = $2000
Per Semester:
Tuition Per semester = $11,100 / 2 = $5,550
Other Fee = $1000
So, that sill be your per semester fee of $6,550
Living expense listed there for 9 months = $6.500 ( or $722 per month, but in Houston will be around $400 per month)
So, next question is how much should my bank balance to be shown as proof. I will talk about that in Next Article. In mean time enjoy other interesting post.You can subscribe to email updates. You will be notified in email when new article in posted.

@suchit
Calculate for 1 year ( 9k * 3 ) will be your tuition fee and 920 * 3 will be your cost of living. So, you need to show more than $35,000. Which university is that for? did you subscribe for email updates?
