Step 3: Provide Documentation of Financial Support
All international students who will be attending UCA on an F-1 visa must provide documentation of financial support in the amount of $19300 USD for one academic year of study for undergraduate and IEP students (or $16000 USD for graduate students). Although you are only required to provide documentation that you will have financial support for one year in order to obtain your visa, please be sure that you will have sufficient funds for your entire educational program available.
UCA does not provide a financial support form. Therefore, financial support can be proven by requesting a statement from your sponsor's bank, written on the bank's letterhead, that your sponsor will be able to provide a minimum of $19,300 (or $16,000 USD for graduate students) for an academic year of study. This must be accompanied by an official English translation. This statement must be current (issued within the last 6 months).
Step 4: Mail All Your Documents to the Correct Address
When you have gathered all your documents put them in order, mail them to:
