Can anyone explain? CERTIFICATION OF FINANCES.

<p>Hello everyone,</p>

<p>I wanted to inquire what this statement means: “The space below is for optional use by issuing institutions for listing student’s expected annual budget”.
It is all about international student certification of finances. Please, tell what this really means. I could not totaly understand.</p>

<p>Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter,</p>

<p>Sincerely,</p>

<p>The issuing institution is the college/university that issues your I-20.</p>

<p>The space is so that they can explain further about your expected costs at that school if they want to. They also can just leave it blank if they want to.</p>

<p>Thank you happymomof1. </p>

<p>So, it means that I should leave it blank, right? It’s the duty of institution to complete this space, yes?</p>

<p>Thank you in advance for your help.</p>

<p>Yes. You leave that blank.</p>
