ISSS has prepared some guidelines and a template letter to help students invite family or friends to come visit them. Sometimes, a family or friend may want an invitation letter from the student to help verify their intentions to visit the United States and support their tourist visa. Students are able to write this letter themselves and can request a Certificate of Enrollment from the Office of the University Registrar to include with their invitation letter and prove their student status.
