ILLINOIS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
FINANCIAL AFFIDAVIT OF SUPPORT (2017–2018)
SECTION 1: INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING ILLINOIS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY’S
INTERNATIONAL STUDENT FINANCIAL STATEMENT FORM
Submission of this form is required of all full-time non-U.S. students before immigration documents can be issued. U.S. permanent residents (or those in
the process of applying for permanent resident status) are not required to complete or submit this form.
United States visa regulations require all F and J 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. An I-20
or DS-2019 cannot be issued until an acceptable Affidavit of Financial Support and bank certification have been received by IIT. Financial documents
dated more than six months prior to the date of I-20 issuance cannot be accepted. New documents will be required if a student’s affidavit and/or bank
certification have expired. J-1 visa holders must provide evidence of support for the duration of their studies.
International students must register as full-time students (nine credit hours or the equivalent per semester). There are two semesters (fall and spring) and
a summer session in each academic year. If an English course is required, it will be concurrent with other academic courses in a full-time program. The
duration of a master’s degree program may be extended by one semester or a summer session beyond the normal time to degree completion. IIT bears no
financial responsibility should the sponsor withdraw or fail to provide funding.
