What is the worst case scenario if only the father's ITR is available for financial proof in Australia/USA?

It depends, but relying only on your father's Income Tax Return (ITR) as financial proof for your student visa can lead to visa refusal in both Australia and the USA.

Visa officers expect clear evidence of funds to cover tuition and living expenses. An ITR alone is not enough - they typically require:

- Bank statements showing available funds.
- Affidavit of support confirming your father's commitment.
- Proof of relationship (like a birth certificate).

Without these supporting documents, your financial capacity may be questioned, increasing the risk of your visa application being rejected.

If you have concerns about your financial documentation, discuss your case with your LeapScholar counsellor for guidance on the best way forward.
