Graduate Admission
Please visit the Office
of Graduate Studies website for more detailed
information on graduate admission.
If you are a graduate student who received an
admission at UCI, the following completed documents
must be submitted to your respective departments
in order to obtain an I-20 document for an F-1
student visa.
1. Admission letter (usually the departments
has this letter)
2. Confidential International Applicant
Questionnaire (CIAQ) form: This form
should have been mailed to you by your respective
departments or school. If not, you may download
one from the International Center’s web
site: http://www.ic.uci.edu/forms/CIAQ2006.pdf
3. Financial Statement: A financial statement
may consist of your personal bank statement, your
parents’ bank statement, another sponsor’s
bank statement or an award letter provided by
your respective departments or school. Your financial
statement must be valid for at least 6 months
from the day the International Center receives
it. A financial statement may be an official personal
bank statement, money market account statement,
mutual fund and/or retirement plan statement.
If someone is providing you financial support,
you must provide us with an official bank statement
and affidavit letter of support. You may also
have your bank or your sponsor’s bank certify
the 4th page of the CIAQ form. Please be advised
that you will need to obtain an official statement
when you are applying for an F-1 visa at your
home country’s embassy/consulate.
The above documents must be completed and must

Please be advised that if you are a transfer
student from another U.S. institution, you must
follow the transfer
procedure prior to obtaining an I-20 document.
