Help send Japanese Student to the United States

Please don't forget to convert Japanese yen to your currency. For example, ￥100=$1(USA)

I'm Jun and I'm a 22-year-old Japanese student from Tokyo who just recently graduated with a bachelor's degree in International Business. I love Learning about the world and especially about Western culture so it has always been my dream to travel to the U.S. I also have felt unsatisfied with my degree not teaching me any real career skills so I want to study at a technical college while in the U.S.

Recently I have fallen in love with the idea to run my own business where foreigners can come to Japan and stay in a place that feels comfortable in a foreign country. I have taken an interest in interior design and will pursue an associate's degree to learn the skills.

In order to obtain that degree I need an F-1 visa. The biggest problem is that I need proof of funds in order to receive one. I need to show that I have $20,000 in a bank account to prove I can sustain myself in the U.S. without working. I also need this money before I can apply to colleges to get accepted. I have already gotten a job and saved up a lot of money but I’m just under the amount I need to apply for the Fall 2023 school year.

Any help is very much appreciated! I plan on making a thank you video and a YouTube channel of my travel experience in the US and will give my thanks on every video for helping me reach my goal. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story.
