We encourage you to process any required visa documents as early as possible before your departure date. Please remember that the U.S. Department of State now requires you to appear for a personal interview in order to apply for a visa. Some consulates have up to a four-month waiting period just for this interview, so please contact your nearest consulate as soon as possible to request an interview date. If you have difficulty getting a timely interview appointment, please contact Meggan Farrell(mfarrell@asce.org) and we will do what we can to help. If an additional letter of invitation is required to secure a visa, please request it as soon as possible by emailing Meggan. Please provide your full name, address, and complete fax number. Letters will be faxed or mailed. If you have a problem with your visa or a question about the process, please consult this website: http://national-academies.org/visas.
