Invitation Letter Request

Invitation Letters from the Congress can be sent to you or your employing institution by postal service. The letters invite your participation in the Congress in order that you may apply for a Visa to enter the United States.

The USA strongly recommends that you apply for your visa, should you require one to come to the US, at least 8 weeks in advance of your departure date to ensure you receive it time for your travel. Processing times vary from mission to mission. Check the processing times for the mission responsible for processing your visa.

Before you apply for the Invitations Letters, you must pay for your Congress registration. Before going further in this process to request an invitation letter, click here to register for the Congress.

After registering, complete the form below and the Invitation Letters and other supporting letters will be sent to you to take to the embassy or consulate.

Be sure to include a copy of your registration receipt with the Invitation Letters when you bring your Visa application to the mission.
