i initiated this thread and up to now, I have received mix reviews regarding my queery. I just thought to provide some more details regarding my case.
I applied for student visa in June 2013, during the processing, the embassy took unexpected long time to process my case. by the end of September, my visa was issued but my classes were started. The embassy asked me for a deferral letter and my university suggested that, you will be eligible next year in 2014. On 6 may I received a renewed admission letter and my classes are about to begin in September 2014. I am planning to travel by the end of the end of this month. My visa was stamped in 2013 but i was waiting for a renewed admission letter for fall 2014 intake. Can i travel 2.5 months before my classes in this situation? please advice. As i have already waited for 8 months despite having a valid visa to travel. Now I have a valid visa and official admission letter from a state university.

have you faced any problems while traveling

That's pretty early. You can't work until our classes start. You will be asked why you need to arrive so early and to show that you have the extra funds to support yourself over the 8 weeks on top of the school year.

I was considering this too, but concerned of the questions at immigration. Will rather wait a little bit.

How much do you think they'd like to see if you are to arrive this early ?

I know Gic is $10k, when you say in addition to Gic, should it be in the account as well?
