Get a letter from the school (if you can ask them to mention good things about you in the letter like good grades, Dean's list etc). You might also want to think about a personal letter to the Consular Officer. One such letter I know of talked about the student's time in the American college, expressed gratitude for the opportunity to come to America as a student, and explained how important and involved the person's parents were in his education and how much this graduation really meant to the family. It worked I think. You may be able to find some helpful stuff at : - http://www.immihelp.com/ and - http://www.immigration.portal.com Good luck!
