Important steps to remember:
  • State Department Regulations: U.S. embassies and consulates now require face-to-face visa interviews for most nonimmigrant visa applicants. Because of these new regulations visa application approval may be delayed. You are encouraged to apply for a visa at least 3 months before the Annual Meeting.
  • Review the visa wait times information for interview appointments and visa processing at each embassy and consular section worldwide available on the U.S. Department of State website at Visa Wait Times. Visit the embassy or consular section website where you will apply for your visa to find out how to schedule an interview appointment, pay fees and any other instructions.
  • Plan on an interview at the embassy or consulate, which is required for most visa applicants. As part of the visa interview, a quick fingerprint scan should be expected. Applicants who need additional screening are informed during the application process.

Visa Waiver Program

Travelers coming to the U.S. for tourism or business for 90 days or less from qualified countries may be eligible to visit the U.S. without a visa if they meet the visa waiver program requirements. Select Visa Waiver Program to learn more, and find out if you meet the visa waiver requirements.

NEW - Nationals of Visa Waiver Program countries will still be eligible to travel without a visa but will have to obtain an approved travel authorization prior to (at least 72 hours before) their travel to the United States. All eligible travelers who wish to travel under the Visa Waiver Program must apply for authorization through the US Department of Homeland Security - Electronic System for Travel Authorization website: https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov

IMPORTANT NOTE: A traveler who fails to submit the authorization form at least 72 hours in advance of his or her departure to the US will not be allowed entry to a plane. Authorization forms will not be allowed to be completed on site at the airport.
