Inviting Family and Friends to FHSU for a Visit or Graduation
As an international student at FHSU, you can invite your family and friends to visit or attend your graduation. This is a special way to celebrate your achievements and share your university experience with loved ones. To help them apply for a U.S. visa, you can request a Letter of Invitation from FHSU.
These letters are not required by the US Consular Offices for family members or friends to obtain visitor/tourist visas. Anyone can apply for a visitor/tourist visa if they have a legitimate intent to visit.
While these letters are not required, our office will provide letters if requested. Why request a letter of invitation? A Letter of Invitation can support your family and friends' visitor visa (B-2) application by providing:
- The purpose of their visit (e.g., your graduation or to visit).
- Your relationship with the invitee(s).
- Dates of their visit.
