The Letter Of Invitation For USA Form is not itself a USCIS petition or visa application. Use it only as supporting evidence of the host’s stated invitation and arrangements; the traveler must follow the applicable Department of State process.

Upload the letter as a PDF or supported document, let signNow auto-detect fillable fields, and inspect every detected field before sending. Add missing visitor, host, date, address, and signature fields manually.
