Paying for a letter of invitation

Post by GarfieldsLasagna »

So a 'friend' of mine is looking to get a letter of invitation from a company, and has had a few offers from people on FB.

Theirs a IVtour Jeep safari tours fb page that says they can sort this for $150 my 'friend' wonders if anyone has successful got a Visa with a 'Letter of invitation' with this 'IVtour Jeep safari tours' or any other said businesses offering this service?

My worry would be that an unscrupulous person might hang it over you once you were in the country, and use the threat of deportation to rinse you for “renewal fees”...

$150 is a very good price. I couldn't offer one at the same price. Don't forget that most of the embassies also require a certificate of validation invitation.

I'm just a puppet in Trump's army of trolls. Guess Mrs Dementia has got on to me.

I thought I recalled some posts in which you stated otherwise. But did you notice the questionmark in my post?

Guess this one triggered me back then, of course could you have asked for someone else, or just for general information or <fill in>.
