My fiance is trying to get his passport, and the people at immigration in Tanzania told him he needed an invitation letter from me. :blink: Last year when we were thinking of trying to get a tourist visa for him, I wrote one, and it was pretty self-explanatory. But what do I say now? "Dear Ombeni, I would like to invite you to come to America so that we can get married. We are in love."??

I had to do this for my fiancee in Kenya. It wasn't a big deal, but I was there in Kenya with her, so I just gave it to her. It sounds stupid, but it apparently worked. She got her passport. Here's the letter I wrote:

24 October, 2006

Jacinta G. Miriti

Address

Nairobi

Kenya

Subject: Invitation to USA

Dear Jacinta,

I would like to invite you to the United States of America, so that we can marry and begin our lives together.

During your stay in the United States, I will bear all your responsibilities including, but not limited to, financial responsibilities, airfare to the USA, travel expenses within USA, medical insurance, housing, and food. You will stay with me in my house located at the address below.

Love,

Michael
