<p>I have to fill out the International certification of finances thing, it says "sponsors" and how much they are paying ( the schools name is there and the financial aid offer) then it says "Parents" and the amount expected to be paid by my parents. The thing is, my parents don't have all that amount available right now, they will have available the first semester payment by August, and the other half by January. I guess that won't work out at the embassy when I try to get the visa?? or How does it work?</p>
<p>Your main obstacle is to convince your college to give you an I-20. That’s what the Certification of Finances is for. The embassy will never get to see that form. Visa applicants are advised to bring financial documents to their visa interview, but most of the time they are not looked at.</p>
<p>Thanks, and how is that convincing stuff? They already looked at the bank statements and all that, and now im suppoused to fill out the intl cert of finances but I just have to sign it, it already says how much the contribution is. Should I just sign it? like accepting I have that money?</p>
<p>If the college only wants you to sign it, then sign it and you are good!</p>
<p>Visa-wise, the college is supposed to make sure that your finances are in order before they issue your I-20. (The I-20 will summarize the information on the Certification of Finances, but without the supporting documents.) Part of that is making sure that you have the first year’s worth of expenses sitting in a bank account already. If your college doesn’t care, consider yourself lucky!!! ;)</p>
