    Default Sponsorship And Changing J-1 to F-1

    I have been in US for almost two years as Au Pair on J-1 visa. I want to change my status and apply for student visa F-1.
    I know that I need a sponsor, but can I sponsor myself? I am from Poland. My parents will send me money on my account here from back home. I could get a statement but than I would like to send some of it back home. They will send me the rest of it when I need it. That is a lot of money and they would like to invest it. I have heard that I need to keep all amount on my account at least for 3 months. Is it true? My school asks me only for one statement.

    You can't sponsor yourself on the basis that somebody else has money which you believe they will give to you.

    You mean that my parents should be sponsors. They are back in Poland and they have money on a polish account in a Polish bank. It means that they should send me statment from polish bank send it here. I feel like I will be more reliable if i have money in a bank in US. They have all requaierd amount, so what is wrong with sending it here.
    Could you please tell me how I should do that.

    Thank you

    You mean, what's wrong with them sending you the money in advance, your having it in a U.S. bank account under your own name, and then demonstrating your ability to support yourself based upon the money you hold in your account? I doubt that anything is wrong with that, but that's a different scenario than you previously described.
