<p>hey guys, i've been told that bank officials in Singapore will NOT sign the Certification of Finances - rather, they'll issue a letter addressed to the financial aid office stating the amount of money in your accounts.</p>
<p>has anybody been through this process before? what is it like, and what do i need to take note?</p>
<p>yeah thats fine..And thats what most banks would do I believe. Why dont you have your father, or whoever the account holder is, to also sign a statement saying that the funds are true and accurate and will be provided for your college expenses.</p>
<p>yes tats true
u need to get a statement from the bank saying that u have the money
it costs about $20
also if u r asking aid u need not send the certification form now for most of the colleges. they require it only after u have been selected.</p>
<p>I read in the certification of finances that you only need to give a bank statement if you solely or majorly depend on your savings for your day to day living.</p>
<p>yep, 123college, but colleges like UPenn require it now, for some weird reason. they must be really tight with their finances. how long does the bank take to produce that letter?</p>
<p>cuRRent: you need to give that bank letter if you plan to use any part of your or your family's savings to fund your college education. it's not an option, and it doesn't depend on how much - the US consul will ask to see the Certification along with the bank statement/letter before you get your visa.</p>
<p>Is there any way of certification other than bank statements? </p>
<p>Another question: My country don't have tax returns. But one university ask me for that, what can I do? Send parents' employer statement instead?</p>
