What must be done to invite someone for a visit to the United States?
Sending him/her a letter of invitation can help a guest of a U.S. host. The letter should include the invitee’s name, reason for visit, period of stay in the U.S., and method of payment of expenses. If the guest is paying his/her own expenses, he/she must be prepared to show the consular officer that sufficient funds are available for the trip. If the American host is paying the expenses, an affidavit of support may be included. For more information, see Tourism, Business, or Medical Visits.
