INTERNATIONAL GUEST INVITATIONS
Contact the Office of International Students and Scholars (OISS) at (954) 262-7240 to
request a letter of invitation for family members wishing to enter the United States to
attend commencement of candidates on an F-1 visa. Family members should present this
letter to the U.S. Embassy when they apply for B1/B2 visas—the visas used for short-term
business or pleasure visits to the United States.
If a candidate wishes to invite more than one family member, the OISS must be informed if
one letter will suffice or if separate letters are needed for each family member. It is the
candidate’s responsibility to mail these letters to family members.
