For the latest guidelines on applying for a U.S. VISA, consult the U.S. Bureau of Consular Affairs.
The U.S. Bureau of Consular Affairs advises that "Visa applicants must qualify on the basis of the applicant’s residence and ties abroad, rather than assurances from U.S. family and friends. A letter of invitation or Affidavit of Support is not needed to apply for a visitor visa. If you choose to bring a letter of invitation or Affidavit of Support to your interview, please remember it is not one of the factors used in determining whether to issue or deny the visa."
If you are looking for support on how to complete a VISA application, "BOUNDLESS" is a company that has provided support to over 70,000 people in getting a VISA. They are not affiliated with ETHDenver.
