My fellow countryman,   In my case, I would send: graduation schedule, official invitation letter from University, Financial Affidavit letter stating who is going to be responsible for their travel expenses, medical and accomodation expenses during their stay etc. The letter should also assure why they don't have any intention of staying here. Besides all supporting documents that convince the visa consulate to issue the visa to your parents. Hope this helps, Good Luck.

Does anyone know about how early one can apply for visa before intended departure?

As far as I know, there is no restriction for applying. But still I would suggest not to invite them before few month, if you are graduating on may i would suggest you to invite them not before Feb coz it doesnt make sense if they are only coming for graduation. But once they come they can come anytime after that as they will have five years multiple visa so just be careful on that. I have invited my parents and they got visa easily and the documents I have sent is the invitation letter, my paystubs as im in H1, my H1 documents and invitation from my company with proof of employment.  but if you are just student just invitation letter is good from your side, and some financial documents from Nepal showing your Parents actually afford going here. So best of luck for that. I am sure they will get it just write me if you have query i can help you on that
