It depends upon the type of visa your friend is requesting. For example, if your friend is pursuing an investor visa (E visa), he must show he has the funds to invest. If, however, your friend is coming on a student visa, he needs to show sufficient funds to pay for his studies and living expenses. Your friend should consider consulting an attorney directly.
