Attention International Participants

We recommend that you apply for your visa at least two months in advance due to security related policies that have greatly increased the processing time for visa applications.

U.S. consular officers now interview most applicants as part of the application process. This can add additional time and delays. Currently there is a mandatory security check period of 30 days for people whose passports are issued from several countries, including China, North Korea, and most middle-eastern countries. Furthermore, the U.S. State Department requires citizens of many countries to obtain visas to attend any scientific program.

As of October 1, 2003, citizens from visa waiver program (VWP) countries are required to obtain a visa if they do not have a machine-readable passport. You are urged to contact the nearest U.S. embassy, or consulate, to find out if you will need a visa or to obtain a new passport prior to traveling.
