An S visa is simple enough to get if you are here on a work permit. Your company should be able to get it easy.

The company invite should do the job. Government invite letters are normally for working visas.

Year 2013 ...I'd say, that is a regular thingy embassies around the world require, before issuing visas for LT stay in the country.
