ghintang is correct. For visitor's visa, there is no need of any documentation except for invitation letter and letter from college if 'reason' is graduation. No need of transcripts either.
I've personally done it for my parents and in-laws and got visa for all four of them (at different times/years) one was for graduation another was when we were expecting baby. Once I was student other time I was on H1.

One of my friend tried to 'sponsor' with 'Affidavit of support' and wrote to the embassy, and got a response from embassy explicitly stating 'no one can sponsor' for such visa and applicants are granted visa on their own capacity.

From student visas to visitor visas, there is more hype on what documents are required. Just follow what there is on embassy's website or state department's website and you are good.
