The following sample bank account verification letter can be helpful to you in sponsoring US tourist visas for your parents, in-laws, or other relatives who would like to visit the US from a foreign country.
6. Travel and Additional Supporting Documents
- Tentative travel itinerary (optional)
- Contact details of people you plan to visit
- Invitation letters (for events or family visits)
Visitor Medical Insurance
Visitor medical insurance is not required to obtain a U.S. tourist visa, and consular officers typically do not request it during the interview.
If you need it or want personal safety, you can purchase insurance from providers such as Insubuy.
Although optional, it is strongly recommended because healthcare costs in the U.S. are very high.
Important Notes
- Do not purchase insurance solely for visa purposes.
- You may buy insurance after visa approval, before traveling.
7. Cover Letter (Recommended)
A concise cover letter (1 page) should include:
- Purpose of travel

- Funding details
