There is no fixed format for such a letter. Simply address it to the consul and tell the truth: explain your status in the US, what your plans are, who you are marrying and what his/her status in the US is, when the wedding is, and that you want your aunt to be there for the ceremony. Include a copy of the formal invitation that you no doubt sent to her already. Send the letter to your aunt to bring to her interiew. It will then be up to her to qualify for the visa.

If your aunt has already applied for a temporary visa to come to the U.S., you will need her case number. And I should warn you that applications from Egypt typically can take years to get processed. The sad truth of Homeland Security after 9-11. Anyway, the best support you could offer her is a letter of inquiry from your Congressional Representative. You would be surprised how well these letters work to jumpstart a case file that has seemingly been stuck in red tape. All representatives are familiar with these letters, but do your homework first and find out what district you are in and call that representative's office to explain the case. ***They can't write this letter if your aunt has not already filed her case and run into some delays.

You should contact your Congressman and ask for advice and assistance. He or she will be pleased to help you route the letter correctly, and might possibly even hand-deliver it for you. Give it a try.

You don't need to write the embassy- just buy her a plane ticket.
