@suggestions I just used the annual tuition fee calculation, I showed them around $30k…annual was $28k…you can show more if you can….not sure what’s your university criteria…. I told them I am in TPS as well, I have my other job to support bla bla…they didn’t really care though, they just wanted the financial bank statement…..

Yeah if you get approved for loan, they will put money in your bank account, and you can ask bank to write a letterhead saying how much available funds you have in your checking account currently, and give that to university…

For what banks to use, you can check around banks close to your place and see which one can give you loan…I used a local bank that’s in my state….you just gotta shop around and see which bank agrees…

Nahh it shouldn’t impact anything with USCIS, once you submit the financial statement to university, if approved, you get a new I20, and you send that i20 to USCIS for reinstatement…..

Yeah it’s a lengthy process, make sure you have a convincing reason why you took a break from f1 when you submit reinstatement form to USCIS…if it’s more than 5 months break, you need a solid convincing reason…..that’s the only part I am scared 🤞….and usually it says 6-8 months, but with current situation might take a year, it’s USCIS, shit takes forever lol
