Directions: This letter can be adapted for a variety of invitation requests including inviting family or friends to your

graduation or for short visits by changing the text in parentheses to information specific to your status, degree
program, and invitation request. If you are inviting more than one guest you should issue a separate letter for
each guest unless they are a married couple or parents and their young children. Be sure to proofread your letter
and remove the parentheses, prompts, and these directions before printing and signing the letter. You should mail
the printed and signed letter directly to the guest(s) you are inviting and instruct the guest(s) to bring the letter to
the visa interview appointment along with any support other documentation.
