• These forms must be submitted before financial need can be calculated and a financial aid award is determined.

International applicants must provide income information for their parents for the 2022 financial year. This information may be provided in one of two ways, depending on the applicant’s circumstances:

• Submit the local equivalent of a US tax return from the applicant's home country. If this does not exist, you should submit a statement from the employer confirming all income.
• Provide documentation from the employer confirming 2022 income.

International tax forms and employer certifications must be submitted both in the original language and (if not originally in English) with an accompanying notarized English translation. In addition, all financial aid documents that contain references to non-U.S. currency must include the prevailing exchange rate to US dollars at the time the forms are submitted. All returns must be converted to US dollars prior to submitting and the conversion tool used provided to our office.

Spouses of students with F-1 status cannot work in the United States. Spouses of J-1 students may apply for employment permission from the US Citizenship and Immigration Services. This approval is essential, as unauthorized employment in the United States by a student's spouse who has a temporary visitor visa could lead to legal complications or even deportation. If you are interested in J-1 student status, as opposed to F-1 student status, please go to the OISS website at https://oiss.yale.edu/. You should also speak with an adviser at OISS.

The Office of International Students and Scholars (OISS) is Yale’s representative for all matters relating to foreign nationals and their relationship to the United States government and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service of the Department of Homeland Security.

After receiving a proof of support from a student, OISS will issue a new I-20 form. Students may not use an I-20 or a visa that was supported by another university in the United States. Medical students at Yale, as well as other international graduate and professional students, are generally issued F-1 student status. Information about the F-1 visa may be found at the following OISS site: https://oiss.yale.edu/.
