Dear, Sajha Members... I am graduating this december and would like to invite my parents. Could you guys please provide me with some suggestions from you experience to maximize the chance of getting the Visa. what kind of paperwork would be considered strong etc.. Thank you and happy dashain

u may need following:
-copy of ur I-20
-ur invitation letter
-invitation letter from ur school (usually ur int'l adm. officer writes one)
-proof from school stating that u're graduating in December
-if u have apt., send the copy of the lease docs, so ur parents can say that they r gonna stay at ur apt.
-the duration of their intended stay must not be more than 5 weeks.
-ur parents must be able to prove "non-immigrant intent" that means they should be able to furnish documents that will force them to return Nepal after the graduation ceremony.. the docs that will fulfill such criteria would be: ur parents business in Nepal (if they have), their jobs (if governmental, is best), if u have siblings in Nepal that may also be another reason ur parents could return, if ur parents r pension holder from their govt. job that can also help. So, main point is "ur parents must be able to prove to the consular of their 'non-immigrant intent', by showing various things that shows their ties to their home country." If u've siblings in US, do not hide that fact, coz the consular knows everything. Ask ur parents to be truthful as much as they can, and just don't lie. That will be it for increasing the chances of getting the visa, rest is up on the interviewer and interviewee, and all u can do after that is PRAY! well, it's getting late now for December, so better hurry up & Good Luck!

Thank You Swiss for your valuable suggestions..

Not a problem, dude!

This is my real and recent experience. I graduated this May. I wanted to invite my parents in graduation ceremony. Like you are doing now, I asked some of my friends who had already graduated and invited their parents. I figured, the embassy need only a proof that you are Graduating. Rest, all the require things are done  from Nepal.

Friends ,my parents got the visa but due to some circumstances  ,I am planning to invite after six months can it be possible ,they have multiple visa................
