I have a question, If I have sufficient funds, 1.3 -1.5 times the amount mentioned in I20, should I say SELF as the person paying for the trip? Does it cause additional scrutiny, if I am not mentioning my father as sponsor. (I am a working professional with 8 years of exp). Additionally, I have also secured a loan of amount equal to I20 form. If I say that I am funding my education myself, could they still have questions about my father's income?
Can I show the liquid funds in my savings account instead of my father. In ds 160 I have mention my father is sponsoring. As he is a senior citizen I don’t want him to go bank because of the covid situations.
Is it 1.5 times the total expenses or the personal funds that we need to show? Since the scholarship and teaching Assistantship will cover the amount in the second year too!
how old are Bank statements accepted? like I have bank statements dated mid Feb which i used to get my I-20, will be ok if I use same for my Visa which is on 6th June too? or I need to make new ones?
hi Shachi Mall , can you please help me out in an clear explanation about the college, lake superior college in a short paragraph for clear understanding

Univeristy ranking is one of the factors considered. But there are also other factors based on your profile which determine the visa approval. Do check out other videos in this series, it will help you
Hi Devyani. Follow the guidelines mentioned in the video. For more details, you can also attend my next workshop here - shachimall.com/workshop-registration-may-2021/

Hi Maam I have investment in equities which can be converted into cash immediately same like mutual funds can I show it as financial proof. Thanks in advance.
hello! I wil also be using my dad's PF for F1 visa financial documents. But I had some questions. Is there a way I can connect with you? It would mean a lot.
Wt is the minimum amount to be showed in ITR for F1 visa? And in my case I'm not taking any loans..my father is sponsoring my education and he recently sold his property for funds..
If my I20 amount is 25 lakhs, and my loan sanction amount is 40 lakhs for 2 years, do I need to show additional funds because loan sanction amount for 1 year is still 40/2 = 20 lakhs (which is less than I20 amount) (or) whatever the loan sanctioned amount i.e. 40 lakhs will be entirely considered and can be accepted as greater than 1.5*I20?
Hi jayanth, I wanted to know about funding. So as every knows no one keeps so much money idle in bank account. So If I have my investment in fixed deposit is it still counted as savings. Also I will be showing loan as well..
I have fixed deposits in my account, more than 1.5x of which that is mentioned in my i20 and also, my father is going to sponsor my education and bear all the expenses during my stay in the united states with his personal savings. what should be the only primary source of funds that can be mentioned in the DS 160 form and to the visa officer that would really enhance my profile and increase the chances of getting the visa approved this time? (NOTE: I have applied for the f1 visa in 2017 for three times and my father was the only sponsor and source of funding in 2 attempts and my elder brother was the second sponsor in the third attempt.)
Hi, I applied for an F1-Visa but got denied. I have loans/grants and additionally had my parents as a sponsor. My father doesn't have a high-paying job and my mother is a homemaker. Could this be the reason I got denied? Does the occupation of your sponsor matter, even when you can show the savings being in the bank? Would it be better if I just put the money in my bank account and have myself stated on the I-20 as partly funding my education instead of my parents?

Just seeing your video and I want to ask, can my I-20 show personal funding and ds-160 carry another sponsor. Will I b given a visa?
Can I show the liquid funds in my savings account instead of my father.
In ds 160 I have mention my father is sponsoring. As he is a senior citizen I don’t want him to go bank because of the covid situations.
yes you can
