Can you help me with my invitation if I am only staying 12 hours on my first entry(layover on my way to Greece)?

I am traveling to Greece and laying over in Russia for 12hours the way there and 24 hrs on the way back. So I need a double entry visa. I am taking a tour during the first entry and they agreed to provide the invitation. On the way back i am staying in a hotel since we will be there over night and the hotel provided the invitation. However, the ILS in Houston is not willing to accept the invitation from tour company. Can you help me with this?

If you have a tourist visa for your way back, for the first entry a transit visa should suffice. You can apply for it in Houston as well.
