Hi,

has anyone on SDN been to this process ? if yes kindly please let us know whether a candidate has to show the full 2 year fee of the course as thats pretty difficult to have that amount of money in an account. And can a letter from employer of a relative ( who is financially supporting the candidate) showing his annual income is sufficient ?

thanks

b1/b2 is visitors or business visa right? as far as i know u cannot directly change ur status frm visitors visa to f1 without going back to ur country. i am not sure abt this , u should talk to ur lawyer abt this.
many schools require u to show 2 yrs tuition and living expenses in liquid assets to give I-20u can talk to the financial dept of ur school for this particular info
hope this helps
