It comes down to how you’re showing your financial statements. Is your Uncle your sole sponsor, or is your dad cosponsoring you with him? Local laws vary on evaluations, but a good rule of thumb is that an accredited party should provide them.

The US government does an annual property valuation for homeowner property tax purposes, so that’s a free option. Licensed appraisers do other options, but those can run you a few hundred dollars and are overkill. Other local services might be available where your Uncle lives, so check with him.

To prepare for the Visa interview, check out our YouTube videos, which provide a ton of excellent information for Free. For personalized F1 Visa Services, we provide a couple of options:
1. An F1 Visa Strategy Consultation session. We brainstorm with you to come up with your narrative. It will allow you to position your answers best.
2. A Mock F1 Visa interview. We interview you and provide you with feedback on what went well and how to improve any areas of improvement.

We recommend purchasing both as it best prepares students to ace their US F1 Visa Interviews. In 2023, US Consulates rejected 1 in 3 F1 Visa applicants. Our clients who purchased both of our sessions had near-perfect approval on their first attempts.
