US Visa Assistance & Invitation Letter Program

Visa Information

Due to security concerns, U.S. visa applications are subject to a greater degree of scrutiny than in the past. For many applicants, a personal interview is required as a standard part of visa processing. It is therefore recommended that the visa application process be initiated well before your travel date. International attendees requiring a visa to enter the United States should contact the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate.
