VISA AND TRAVEL

The United States Government requires residents of some countries to obtain a Visa before entering the U.S. Recent changes to the Visa application process have increased the length of time required to receive your Visa. It is extremely important to apply for your Visa early. To view approximate wait times visit the Department of State web site at http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/temp/wait/tempvisitors_wait.php.

There are also tighter security procedures in place for international travel to the US. Be sure to visit the TSA web site for more information and updates.

1. Review the U.S. Department of State web site for any changes to the Visa process that may affect you.
2. Register for IBIE to receive your VISA Letter of Invitation.
3. Apply early for your Visa. Download Visa forms at http://evisaforms.state.gov/.
