Can I use my H-1B salary savings as proof of funds for a new F-1 I-20?

If you’re applying for a new F-1 I-20, most schools require proof of funds to show you can cover tuition and living expenses. In general, savings from your H-1B salary can be used as proof of funds, as long as the money is in your bank account and the statement meets the school’s requirements.

That said, each school may have slightly different rules. Some may require recent bank statements, a minimum balance amount, english statements or translations, sponsor documents if someone else is funding you

So the main thing is to check with the school’s admissions/DSO team before submitting.
