Student Visas

CDM Admission is happy to assist international students with the I-20 application process. International students are not required to submit visa-related documents at the time of application.

Initial I-20 Required Documentation

International students requesting an I-20 must submit current (no earlier than 6 months prior to entry term) financial documents which include:

1. Original Bank Statement indicating available funds totaling $49,276 US Currency. Funds must be in a checking or savings account and the statement must be dated in the last 6 months.
2. Complete an Affidavit of Support if funds are from a source other than the applicant.
   
3. A photocopy of your passport or I-94 card.
4. A permanent international address.

• Available funds must be in Savings, Checking, Certificate of Deposit, or Money Market accounts only.
• Please note that if you are including a dependent(s) on the I-20, your bank statement must include an additional $5,000 for the first dependent and $4,000 for each additional dependent.
• All requests for an I-20 will be processed within 10 business days of receiving all of the above documents and an admission decision.

CDM will notify applicants of their acceptance to the university. Students will then review the I-20 document checklist and detailed instructions for the ISS portal (accessible to admitted students only).
