Colleges and Universities A-Z Stanford University

<p>Hi all, I'm from Australia and my son is just accepted by Standford and we are very excited about that. Stanford is asking us to send a "Bank statements, with the amount listed in U.S. dollors" before the "Certificate of Eligibility for F-1 Student Visa (I-20)" can be issued.</p>

<p>I'm sure Stanford is not expecting 4 years University expenses ($240K+) on the statement. What is the minimum acceptable balance of this "Bank statement"? </p>

<p>Thank you all in advance!</p>

<p>The COA is about 60k so I’d imagine 65-70k would suffice. </p>

<p>They want bank statements to ensure that an equivalent amount will have been regenerated by this time next year.</p>

<p>You will need to do the same at the US embassy.</p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>Thanks! How do I show them that the same amount will be generated the same time next year? Would tax return and payslips do? Thanks again!</p>
