A record number of Chinese students are expected to study abroad this year, as more and more apply for visas to attend universities in the United States, Europe and Australia. Many students say they want an overseas degree to help them compete in China's tough job market. Jennifer Pak reports from Beijing.

Not long ago, people are jammed into the Beijing office of New Oriental, a company that helps students apply to study abroad.

Liu Hui is among the many hopefuls. She wants to get a master's degree in the United States.

 

About letter of invitation

A "Letter of invitation" is supplementary information that explains a visa applicant's intended purpose of travel and often useful. A letter of invitation explaining the nature of applicant's business in the U.S. and the nature of the relationship between the inviting party and the applicant is helpful. By writing a letter of invitation, you are not legally responsible for the visitor once they get to USA, but you should provide the letter in good faith. You must give truthful information and intend to keep the promises you made in the letter.

Letter of invitation from a U.S. sponsor

Letter of invitation from a U.S. sponsor will not necessarily guarantee that the holder will receive a visa. The consular officer evaluates each visa application on its own merits according to visa law and procedures. The best help that a U.S. Citizen can give to a visitor visa applicant is to make sure that applicant has all the information they need to submit a correct application and explain fully the standards for visa issuance.
