How do I apply for an F-1 student visa?

Question

Accepted Answer

After you are admitted to TCU, we will require a tuition deposit and the TCU Financial Statement (if not provided earlier), signed by you and your sponsor. Your sponsor’s employer must provide a letter verifying employment and salary. The sponsor’s bank must provide a letter indicating the average monthly balance over the past year and the current balance. The sponsor must have sufficient funding in his or her bank to cover your first year’s educational costs, plus show evidence of the ability to pay for subsequent years. Once you have submitted all of the required financial documents and the enrollment fee, we will prepare your I-20 (the document used to apply for the F-1 student visa). This usually takes about two weeks, not including mailing time.
