Affidavit of Financial Support (AOFS)

Our Office for International Students and Scholars (OISS) is eager to facilitate your transition to WashU and will process your visa-related materials and documents. Once you have shared your Affidavit of Financial Support (AOFS) form and bank statement with us, we will provide these materials to OISS, who, upon review, will issue your I-20 for your visa interview when such appointments become available.

The documentation must be in the form of the Affidavit of Financial Support form and proof of funding (official bank letter, official bank statement, or official sponsorship letter on letterhead).
