  • They intend to return to their home country at the conclusion of their visit

Suggested tips for the 访问or's application

  • Write a letter of invitation. You can provide your friend or family member with a letter of invitation from you. This letter should include; the purpose of the visit, your relationship to the visitor, a statement of your status here, itinerary details (if known) and - the length of time they will be visiting. 最好强调邀请的临时性质,并表明他们打算在访问结束后返回母国. 如果你愿意在他们来的时候提供经济支持,也要包括这些信息.
  • Enrollment or Employment Verification. Contact SAS for an enrollment verification. 如果你是在一个批准的工作授权下工作-提供该信息的副本.
