Is it true that studying in the US does not require financial proof?

So how much do you need to prove your finances to study in the US? This is a question that many of you are interested in when preparing for your dream of studying abroad. To get an official ticket to study in the US, international students need to prepare the necessary documents to apply for a visa after receiving an invitation letter from the school. While proof of finances is a mandatory requirement in many other countries, for the U.S., it is not a mandatory condition for obtaining a visa. However, you should still bring proof of your finances to the visa interview if the consular officer needs to see it.

Documents related to providing financial support for studying in the U.S. you should bring include:

• The document shows close financial, social, and family ties to the country, causing international students to return home when their studies in the U.S. are over.

• Financial documents and any other documents that you believe will support your visa application and provide credible evidence that you have sufficient funds available to cover all expenses for the first year of study and that you have the right to use sufficient funds to cover all expenses during your stay in the United States. International students in the M-1 category must demonstrate the ability to pay tuition and accommodation expenses for the entire period of their intended stay.

• Copies of bank statements will not be accepted unless you can present the original bank statement or the original bank book.

• If you are financially sponsored by someone else, bring proof of your relationship with the sponsor (such as your birth certificate), the original of the sponsor's most recent tax return, and the sponsor's bank book, and/or proof of fixed deposit.

• Papers showing academic preparation. Useful papers include copies of school records (originals preferred) with grades, certificates, certifications (A levels, etc.), SAT scores, TOEFL, etc., and qualifications.

American education always welcomes and attracts many international students with open policies, including a policy that does not require proof of financial support to study in the United States. Studying in the U.S. does not require financial proof and does not require a specific amount of money. However, to best prepare for the US student visa interview, you need to prepare and bring documents related to financial proof.
