Visa Assistance

Do not delay in making VISA arrangements for entry into the United States if needed. Such arrangements are the responsibility of attendees and other participants and may take up to a few months.

HOW TO OBTAIN A VISA

Complete information on how to apply for a VISA to enter the US can be found on the U.S. Department of State's website http://www.unitedstatesvisas.gov/obtainingvisa/index.html

For Authors

Authors can obtain visa letters through EDAS  
When you log onto your personal home page & into your paper you submitted there will be a letter shaped icon (visa letter).
Once you click on it, a PDF of the visa letter is generated. If you need further assistance regarding your visa letter contact Bridget Erlikh directly at b.erlikh@comsoc.org
