Travel to the United States
All travelers to the United States must hold a passport that is valid six months longer than the intended visit. Most travelers also require a visa. Find information on obtaining a U.S. visa, the visa waiver program for travelers from selected countries, and more here.
Visa Process
If you require a visa, please recognize that the visa application process may take several months or more. An interview appointment is required for a visa application at all embassies and consulates. The wait time for this appointment varies, but may be as long as three months or more, with processing taking an additional month or more. The wait time for visa applications is available on the State Department's Website. You should begin this process as soon as you make the decision to attend the Annual Meeting. You can print your own letter of intended participation to accompany your visa application.
