Travel Visas & Visa Letter of Invitation
Travel Visa
Apply for your visa well in advance of your travel! Important steps to remember: Review your visa status, and find out if you need a U.S. visa or a renewal. The photograph format required for the nonimmigrant visa has changed. This format is similar to that required for U.S. passport processing - http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/info/info_1287.html. Review the visa wait times information for interview appointments and visa processing at each embassy and consular section worldwide available - http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/wait/tempvisitors_wait.php. Visit the embassy or consular section Web site 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 Letter of Invitation
To support your visa application, visitors will also require a letter of invitation from Geosynthetics 2013 organizers. Please click here to submit your request.
You will be required to fill out your full name as it appears on your passport, company name, title, complete company mailing address, phone, fax and email address. Details must also include passport number and date of birth. You will need to submit one request per person.
IFAI will email a PDF version of the Visa Letter of Invitation. If you require a hard copy of the letter, please provide a Federal Express or UPS account number to cover the cost of shipping.
