[aadivasi]

Hi everyone,

I am here in USA studyin on F1 student visa. Currently enrolled in cpt program. I would like to call my Dad from india just for a visit. I have my brother studing also here in US on F1 status.
I would like to know if I need to take any official documents from my university stating my father's visit to US?
I have already sent copy of my(n my brother's) visa, I20, passport to my Dad for the visa application.
Please provide me with your additional inputs, past experience, what all documents to take for the visa, etc.

Thanks,
Ramakant.

I think you should ask your school and they will give you a prove that you are studying in their school. Because there are some students they don't studying anymore but they still have their visa and their I20 form.
