Letters of invitation for visa purposes

If you are a track participant planning to attend the TAC 2010 workshop and need an invitation letter for visa purposes, send an email request to Lori Buckland ([email protected]) explaining exactly what the invitation letter must include, and including the following information in your request:

  1. visa recipient's full name EXACTLY as it should appear in the invitation letter
  2. complete address to which the invitation letter should be sent (P.O. boxes are not acceptable)
  3. whether the letter should be sent by email, fax, or physical mail

It is advisable to start the visa process very early. Over the past several years it has become increasingly time-consuming to obtain a US visa. In some years there have been people who planned to attend the workshop but who were unable to do so because they could not get a visa in time. By U.S. law, NIST staff cannot intervene on your behalf in any way to expedite the visa process.
