      Hi ,
      I had submitted a bank letter to the university for getting my I20.
      It has all the information mentioned in ( Bank Letter Instructions for F1 )
      Can I use the same letter for my visa interview aswell? I had taken this letter on 21st april 2012 and my visa would be scheduled by the end of June 2012.

      please reply.

      I gave my Toefl in June 2012 and GRE in November 2012. I still havn't received the scorehard of them in hard copy at my address. I contacted them, verified the address and asked for the Tracking Id to locate my scorecards. But they send it through normal post and have no tracking ID. I am applying for my F-1 visa now. Can I use web-print of the score. If it ok not to have formal score card in hard copy? Please suggest.

      Yes, U can attend to VI without your final year results. But, you should carry "COURSE COMPLETION CERTIFICATE" with you.
