Southwest Baptist University Affidavit of Support

Verification of Financial Support for International Students enrolling at SBU.

Financial Declaration and Affidavit of Support

United States visa regulations require all F visa holders to provide certified evidence (Affidavit of Support) of adequate funds to meet tuition and living expenses for a proposed program of study. The Affidavit of Support for the first year must have the sponsor’s guarantee of support. A letter bearing the bank’s seal and signature or six months of bank statements stating that funds can be transferred must be attached to the affidavit. The affidavit/statement must be translated into English. The form I-20 or DS2019 cannot be issued until an acceptable Affidavit of Financial Support and bank certification have been received by SBU. Financial documents must be dated less than 6 months prior to I-20 issue date. New documents will be required if a student’s affidavit and/or bank certification have expired.
SBU bears no financial responsibility should a financial sponsor withdraw or fail to provide funding.

Student: Be sure to keep copies of your financial documents as you may need to present them to the US Consular Officer at your visa interview and to the US Immigration Officers at the Port of Entry.
