Visa Information

Meeting attendees from countries that require a visa to enter the United States are reminded that the process of obtaining a visa may take several months. You are strongly encouraged to plan ahead and begin the application process early. The U.S. State Department web site includes Visa Information that may be helpful to you.

You may generate an Official Visa Invitation Letter (which is available as a customizable PDF; in Adobe Acrobat). To personalize the letter, simply type or cut and paste today’s date and your name and address in the appropriate fields at the top of the letter, then print. Please note that this letter does not guarantee that you will be granted a visa.

TMS cannot send the letter to an embassy or consulate for you, nor can we contact the embassy or consulate on your behalf. It is the sole responsibility of the attendee to obtain the necessary paperwork for entry to the U.S.

If you have any questions about our online invitation letter, please contact:
