Visa applications are currently subject to a greater degree of scrutiny than in the past. Many applicants may be required to appear in person for an interview as a part of the visa process. Applicants affected by these procedures are informed of the need for additional screening at the time they submit their application and are being advised to expect delays. Please apply your visa ASAP.

IEEE’s guidelines for providing visa letters are as follows:

• Visa letters should only be issued to
  • People the committee knows
  • Speakers/Presenters
  • Committee members
  • Attendees who have paid their registration fee in full and are not from one of the countries embargoed by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control
    
• Visa letters should state only the facts
  • Conference title, dates and location
  • That the requester has paid the required registration fee in full
    • Verify that the credit card clears before providing lette
  • If they are either a committee member, speaker or presenter
