One such source is at the Queen Mary, University of London's website, in the Advice and Counseling Service Section, where there is a detailed explanation on what procedures to go through in writing your letter of invitation for a friend or family member to be admitted into your country through the visa and entry service established within Great Britain. For instance, the website at the Queen Mary, University of London's website gives the following information on writing a visa letter of invitation. According to the site, this is what you need to put in your invitation letter:

• the full name and date of birth of the proposed visitor(s)

• their relationship to you (parent, friend, etc)

• why they want to come and visit you (for a holiday, to attend your graduation, etc.)

• how long they want to stay in the UK and, if possible, their proposed arrival and departure dates

• where they intend to stay; if they plan to stay with you, give your full address

• your own immigration status in the UK (for example, student until 2007)
