Visa Letter Support
International travel to meetings in the
U.S.
FCS&E staff advises anyone who may need a visa to attend the
meeting to apply early. Visa applicants should apply at least 3
months in advance of the meeting. Security-related policies have
greatly increased the processing time for visa applications. U.S.
consular officers now usually interview applicants as part of the
application process.
General information about visas:
The National Academies maintains a website about visa-related issues and travel
information for U.S. citizens and non-U.S. citizens.
