I am applying for B1 visa, in order to visit United States to take my "USMLE Step 2 Clinical Skills examination". As I lack financial resources, my father is paying for my trip as well as my stay abroad.
I am interested to know, what documents are required of me to satisfy the requirement, that necessary finances are available for my intended visit.
I take it you plan to change your B1 visa to an F1. And are you asking about the financial resources for the B1 visa or F1 visa?

WhiteUSC - I didn't see any indication of fraud on the part of this poster. Did I miss something? Or, are you making assumptions that haven't been proven (again)?

B1 is a tourist visa, purely to visit America and see the country as a tourist. What OP is planning to do is use B1 Visa, enter the country and give USMLE. Why give USMLE if the intentions are not to stay here? Is OP that stupid, nah? But Americans are NAIVE and they take advantage of that. Some how get in to the country and then start manipulating the system.
I would like to know why OP is coming on B1 and planning to give USMLE? Why use visitor visa and conduct activities of student visa, why not go for student visa to begin with. Ah..let me guess perhaps student visa was rejected.

WHERE in the OP's post are there any indication's that they HAVE or DO plan to commit fraud? I have read, and reread it and I see none...

Thank you all. I was not expecting such a prompt reply. ProudUSC I find your link helpful. whiteUSCNeedsHelp, I do not understand why you are angry with me. Is it because of something I said to you before (though I do not understand what, as this is my first post).
To clarify I am a licensed physician in my country. I have no intention of applying for B1 visa for the purpose of converting it to an F1 visa. I am in the process of taking USMLE examinations (it is a multiple step examination), one of which, the USMLE Step 2 CK is held in examination centres located only in US. The examinations when passed and completed in full allows me "License" to practice as a physcian in US. Still it should not require me an F1 visa as I hope to apply for an H1B then. Now I do not know why whiteUSCNeedsHelp should have a problem with that.
Coming back to my question, I mentioned of my interest to apply for B1 visa in order to take my examination. As I am not able to pay for the trip on my own, my father will support me financially. In this regard I am interested to know if my father is required to submit form I-134 (Affidavit of Support) on my behalf, in order to satisfy the requirement that financial resources are available for the trip?
If not, then how must I satisfy the above mentioned requirement.

werdok, Don't worry about "whiteUSCNeedsHelp", he/she/it has somewhat of a problem to say the least...

Where does your father live? If he is US citizen or permanent resident, he can fill out I-134. If not, you can show his bank statements and have some kind of notorized letter that he will make that funds available to you. Even better if your father transfers those funds to your account. Or best, call the embassy and ask what they want to see... Good luck.

I am sorry if I had not know that B1 is a tourist visa whose sole purpose is to visit your country for fun. I had mistakenlty thought that B1 is the Business visa. Additionally I thought that both B1 and B2 are applied using the same form and identical process, and it is the job of the consulate officer to grant either one that he seems suitable for the visit.
I may be wrong because this is the first time I am applying for a visa. It is my misfortune that the first visa I am applying for is that of your country, which may already enough complicatd immigration rules to confuse even the most experienced.
I am glad you found my folly and presumed that I am trying to trick the consulate officers by doing fraud. May you please guide me in the right direction and suggest the type of visa most suitable to take my examination.

Then Why Not Apply For Student Visa?
Did you read the OP's post? S/he is not a student - already a licensed physician in home country.
The F-1 visa (student visa) permits foreign students to get to the US and attend school at all academic levels.
A foreign student can reach the US in F-1 classification. Applicants must have completed a course of study normally required for enrollment, should be sufficiently proficient in English, should have been accepted for a full course of study by an approved educational institution and be able to prove that sufficient funds are or will be available to meet living and school expenses.
They should also be able to convince the consular officer that they have binding ties to a residence to their home country which they have no intention of abandoning and that they will return to their home country when they have completed their studies.
Once the applicant has been accepted to a school in the US , they will be issued a Form I-20 (Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant Student Status for Academic and Language Students) establishing that they are eligible for the visa.
The applicant must complete Form DS-156, the nonimmigrant visa application. This form asks basic questions like the purpose of the trip and expected length, prior US immigration history, and if there are any family members in the US. It is important to answer this form truthfully.
Males between 16 and 45 will also have to submit Form DS-157, supplement to the non-immigrant visa application. If the forms are not answered truthfully, the consular officer can deny visa and preclude the student from re-applying for another visa. If there is are petitions pending on your behalf such as a Green card application, the consular officer can deem that your intent is immigrant intent and deny your application.
The applicant must also have a valid passport for travel to the United States and with a validity date at least six months beyond the applicant’s intended period of stay in the country, one colour photograph — showing full face, without head covering, against a light background, original TOEFL scores and SAT, GRE, GMAT scores, as applicable.
Students going to the US to earn a Bachelor’s degree should bring their most recent mark sheets or graduation certificates. Those looking for a PhD degree should bring their original undergraduate degree and mark sheets.
Spouses and minor children accompanying the student to the US should bring marriage certificates, wedding photos, and birth certificates with them to the interview, to prove the relationship between themselves and the principal applicant.
There is a common myth that once you are in the US on a student visa, you can automatically work. This is not the case. A student is permitted On-Campus Employment as long as he works just 20 hours a week while school is in session.
He may be employed full-time during vacations and recess periods as long as he intends to register for the next term. On-campus employment means employment on the premises of the school or at an affiliated off-site location. (ie employment like work in the school library, cafeteria, or in a student store or employment which is part of a student’s scholarship, fellowship or assistantship).
I am not racist. I am not anti-immigrant. I am AGAINST CRIMINALS, FRAUDSTERS, WHO DISOBEY THE LAW, BREAK THE LAW AND PERPETRATE THE FRAUD.
You may not like what I have to say but that does not mean I am wrong.
