SPONSOR’S AFFIDAVIT AND EVIDENCE OF ANNUAL CASH SUPPORT
WHAT DOES THIS AFFIDAVIT MEAN?
By completing this affidavit, you are swearing to the U.S government that you will provide this student with a
specific amount of money from your own financial resources
for every semester or year
he or she is going to
study at Lock Haven University and live in the U.S. You are also proving that you can afford the support you
are promising with the documents you have attached.
Before signing it, it is important to understand that you are making a financial commitment to the student
which should not be broken. Sponsors who fail to provide the promised support force students to drop out of
school and cause pain and suffering. Do not expect that the student will be able to help support the costs
through employment. Employment is strictly controlled by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and very
limited.
HOW TO COMPLETE THIS FORM:
Fill this form out in English (or have it officially translated). Promise only the amount of money you are
able to give. The most common reason we reject affidavits if that we do not believe a sponsor can
afford to give as much as promised.
Sign and date the affidavit.
Attach the supporting evidence listed below. The affidavit will not be accepted without the required
supporting evidence. You will need to keep the originals to present at the United States Consulate or
Embassy at the visa interview.
SUPPORTING EVIDENCE REQUIRED FROM YOU OR A SPONSOR:
1. Proof of income (
any of the following
) with most recent pay stub:
Investment statements for the last six months,
or
Income tax returns or receipts,
or
Pay stubs for last six months,
or
2. Bank statement in your name only. A monthly statement of balances and deposits.
If another person’s name appears on your bank statement, that person must complete a separate
affidavit. A letter from a bank officer will not be accepted.
