  • Question on monthly income

    Hello.
    I applied for a USA B1 visa. I am a student studying in another country. I receive a monthly stipend at school. I also get paid back home because I am on a study leave.
    While filling DS 160 form, in monthly income field, I only mentioned the stipend I get at the university because it was just related to my current employment at school as PhD student. I would like to ask if I was supposed to also fill the combined amount (Stipend + salary back home). Will this affect my Interview? I have an interview in two days. What can I do? Please advise.

    DS 160 form doesn't provide a proper way to fill information about the study leave.

    Thank you

    It is always essential to fill out visa application forms completely and accurately, including information on all sources of income. In your situation, you ought to have specified both the university stipend and the money you receive at home. This is due to the fact that despite being on study leave, you are still getting paid by your home nation. However, if you have already submitted your DS-160 form and are unable to make changes to it, you should bring any pertinent documentation, such as evidence of your home country's salary, with you to your visa interview. If asked about your income during the interview, you should explain the circumstance and present any relevant supporting paperwork. io games

      If you apply for a B-1/B-2 Visa, you must demonstrate to a consular officer that you are eligible for a U.S. Visa under the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Act (INA). Section 214(b) of the INA treats all B-1/B-2 visa applicants as an immigrant

          I appreciate your response, and I agree that it is crucial to provide precise and complete information on all sources of income on the visa application forms. In your situation, you must list both your home income and your university allowance. You are still paid by your host country even though you are on study leave, which is the cause.

              According to the information I found, you should enter your gross income (before tax deductions) in the monthly income field. This means you should include both your stipend and your salary back home. If you do not receive a fixed salary, you should enter an estimate of your average earnings for a month. If you have already submitted your DS-160 form with only your stipend, you may need to correct it before your interview. You can find instructions on how to retrieve and edit your DS-160 form here. I hope this helps and I wish you good luck with your visa application.

                It is generally recommended to include all sources of income when applying for a visa, as this provides a more complete picture of your financial situation. In your case, since you receive a stipend at school and a salary back home, it would be advisable to include both amounts in the monthly income field on the DS-160 form. This will demonstrate your ability to support yourself during your stay in the United States.

                Not disclosing all sources of income could raise concerns about your financial stability and could potentially lead to delays or denial of your visa application. It is important to be transparent and provide all relevant information to the visa officer.

                If you are unable to modify your DS-160 form before your interview, you should bring a copy of your payslip or other documentation of your salary back home to your interview. Be prepared to explain your financial situation to the

                    Rather, they must overcome the presumption of immigrant intent by demonstrating to the consular officer that they have strong ties to their home country and intend to return after their temporary visit to the U.S.

                      Monthly income refers to the total amount of money an individual or household earns each month from various sources, such as salaries, wages, business profits, pensions, or government benefits. It plays a crucial role in budgeting, saving, and meeting daily expenses. Understanding one’s monthly income helps in financial planning and ensures that essential costs like housing, food, transportation, and utilities are covered.

                        Yes, you should have ideally included the combined income (stipend + salary from home) to fully reflect your financial situation. However, this is not likely to cause major issues. At your interview, explain clearly that you listed only your stipend because it relates to your current position as a PhD student, and that you also receive a salary from your home country during your study leave. Just like when users expect full features from apps such as Spotify ++, transparency is key. Bring documentation for both income sources to support your explanation. Being clear and prepared will help address any concerns.
