We invite all attendees to review their visa status now to determine if a visa or visa renewal is needed and to find out, in case they do, how to schedule an interview appointment, pay fees, and other vital instructions.

The processing times for visa applications vary depending on the visa office. Delegates should apply for their visa as soon as their participation in the meeting is confirmed. For details that apply specifically to your country please contact immediately your nearest Consulate or Embassy.

If you need a personal letter of invitation to enclose with your application, please contact Taylor Lineberger. You will need to register for the conference before we can provide you with an invitation letter.

The Conference cannot contact or intervene with any Embassy or Consulate office abroad on your behalf so please begin your visa application process as soon as you determine that you want to attend the conference.

We would like to inform all attendees that in isolated instances travelers with valid visas were denied boarding an airplane to by the airline:

• Because their passport was damaged
• Because their passport would soon expire.

Standards may vary by country and airline. We recommend all travelers examine their passports to determine if they are undamaged and that the expiration date is safely beyond the planned travel dates.
