What does this Affidavit Mean?

By completing this affidavit, you are swearing to the U.S. government that this student will live with you free of any charge for room and food for every year he or she is attending Monroe Community College. (The student cannot be required to provide you with any services such as babysitting, cleaning, etc. in exchange for room and board, as that is employment.) You are also proving that you are the person who owns or rents the property and can afford the support you are promising.

Before signing this form, it is important to understand that you are making a financial commitment to the student that should not be broken. Sponsors who fail to provide promised support may force students to drop out of school and cause pain and suffering. Do not expect that the student will be able to help support the costs through employment.

Fill out this form completely in English or have it officially translated into English.

• Give the student the original documents. The student can email their documents to InternationalAdmissions@monroecc.edu or the documents can be uploaded electronically directly to their application through the Admissions portal.
• The student will need to keep the originals to present to the consul or embassy during his or her visa interview.
