My friend has applied for change of status from H4 to F1 in Mar 2013 and have received an RFE a month later. Based on what the university advised, she submitted the form I-539 along with copies of my passport, I-20 and I-94. And was not advised to submit any other documents.
Now, in the RFE, She have been asked by USCIS to submit the following:
1. Recent pay stubs of her husband to verifiy valid non-immigrant status in the US.
2. Document supporting funds for 1st year of study and also documents supporting funds for the entire duration of the course (which is 3 years)
I have the following questions:
1.she did mention in form I-539 that her spouse will be sponsoring her. Now, as a reply to this RFE, should her spouse submit an affidavit I-134 (Husband is on H1 currently)? Or, submitting only bank statement, accompanied with a cover letter, will suffice?
2.Her spouse can submit US bank statements to sufficiently cover 1st year of study but not the entire 3 years. In this case, will it be sufficient to state that the spouse will continue to support the other 2 years through his salary (which is our plan anyway to pay for the studies)?
3. Can She submit bank statements etc from my father/father-in law (they reside in India) towards this as a sponsor? If yes, in what document form? Whether a bank statement will be sufficient or it requires official statements on stamp paper etc?
4. In case, the answer to question no.2 is 'Yes', will she still need to submit any sposor documents from India?
5. Can there be more than 1 sponsor for the study?
