Invitation letter for USA Visa

Q: I need helping writting an invitation letter for my brother and his family to come and vacation with me this summer! HELP!



A: An "invitation letter" is typically a requirement for other countries' visas, not for U.S. visas. In general, your relatives need to convince the consular officer in their visa interview that their purpose of travel is valid and they will be coming home after their vacation. The consular officer may not even look at the applicants' documents at all

(especially in places where documents are considered unreliable).

Feel free to send an invitation or not, feel free to write in English or the local language, feel free to send one by email or to print one on elaborate parchment with stamps, seals, and ribbons and red, white, and blue borders, feel free to have it notarized or not, feel free to address it to your relatives or address it to the Embassy...whatever you decide (or decide not to do at all), it's up to you.
