I-20 Sample : Tuition Fees Breakdown
By HSB
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.

Also, I haven’t got my I20 yet. I got the offer letter around 9th of May and the I20 processing was initiated on 15th of May. It is still under process. Can you tell me by when I should be expecting it. Also, I would like to know it is too late for me to get the I20 as I need my VISA soon enough to attend the college from 17th of August.
Thanks,

I have got calls for MS from Cornell University, USC, UH, UTD and San Jose` State University. I am not getting funding from any but UH. However, in UH they are admitting me to the Non-Thesis Masters program but they say can get changed in the Thesis program when I get a research guide. I obviously wanna go to Cornell University but it would be very expensive. What do you suggest?

Hi,
Do i need to show available funds in my account for a VISA or i can also show assets in the form of ULIP’s and property (that i am not living in) asa available funds.
The purpose is to show that i will not use the money till the date i need it because the money multiplies in this form.

hey…
My name is Nisha Chander and I am applying for the M.S. Degree in Biotechnology program in about 8 universities in the US. In my passport, my name is given as NISHA CHANDER under the given name column and the surname column has been left blank. I understand that while filling the application form I am suppose to print my name as given in my passport.. so that means that I will have to leave the surname column blank. I want to know if this might be problem while obtaining the I-20 form as I have heard that it is necessary to show a surname to obtain this form. If this is the case then kindly let me know what to do.

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?
