How do I apply for an F-1 Student Visa?
1. With your application, submit an official bank letter (with English translation) indicating that you or your sponsor has at least $14,000 (US) or the equivalent in foreign currency to support you during your studies at Mercer. If you plan to bring a spouse or children, an additional $4000 will be needed for each individual.

2. If you have a sponsor, he/she must sign the ELI application stating that he/she is financially responsible for you while you are here. If you are applying on-line, your sponsor will need to submit a letter in English, explaining that he/she will be responsible for your expenses.

3. If you are being sponsored by someone who lives in the United States, your sponsor needs to submit form I-134 "Affidavit of Support." This form must be notarized. It can be found on-line at uscis.gov.
