T he rule is that there should be approximately $1,000.00 for every month that you are there. If you have arranged for Financial Loans through your school, you must provide a breakdown PLUS COPY of such loans. Banking on-line information is acceptable as long as there is a name that corresponds with whomever is signing the “Affidavit of Support”. If you are uncomfortable in submitting this information, please know that this remains strictly confidential, do not include any documents that include your SS number and you are certainly  welcome to “black out” your account number.

Affidavit of Insurance - Requirement

Utilize the site listed above. * T his will also be notarized by this Office.

• Flight Itinerary, PLUS COPY of your “round trip flight”. Your visa will only reflect the dates of your study program. If you plan on touring after your program is over, remember that you revert back to a “tourist” and can stay a while longer, however Italy needs to know that you are indeed returning to the States. If you do not have a return flight than your letter of enrollment from the U.S. school should indicate that you are continuing your studies at the U.S.
