As we have often discussed, the B-2 Visitor visa is not the easiest visa to get approved. The reason being that the interviewing officer is going to assume that you are going to be making your temporary visit to the United States a permanent residency.

A B-2 Visitor visa invitation letter is just one of the many supporting documents that should be prepared for a consulate interview. The invitation letter is important because it helps increase the chances of approval by demonstrating that the foreign national has specific and reasonable plans for their trip to the United States. It also provides a summary of where the applicant will be staying and who will cover the expense of the trip. The invitation letter can also reiterate the applicant’s ties back to their home country.

So, what do you need to include in a B-2 Visitor visa letter?

What Do You Need to Include in a B2 Visa Invitation Letter?

The invitation letter should include some of these major points:

• Purpose of travel to the U.S.
• Arrival/departure dates.
• Where the applicant will be staying.
• Who will cover the expenses of the trip.
• The itinerary for the trip.
• Applicant’s ties to his/her home country.

This information should be included in a B-2 Visitor visa invitation letter. Remember, a detailed invitation letter does not guarantee the approval of a visa. That being said, it is essential to present an all-around strong case with multiple supporting documents, as well as preparing for the consulate interview.
