Travel to the U.S. is changing, including new
visa requirements, revised entry procedures and longer
visa processing times. To assist you in attending OTC, we are offering
information
to make the trip easier for you.
1. Generate
an invitation letter. This letter will help you in the visa process,
which can take several months. Start now to ensure that you have
a visa in time. (Please note that this letter does not guarantee
that you will be granted a visa, nor does it commit OTC to assist
you in obtaining
a visa. OTC does not agree to pay any expenses incurred by you.
We cannot send the letter to the Embassy or Consulate
for you, nor can OTC contact the Embassy or Consulate on your behalf.
It is the sole responsibility of the attendee to obtain the necessary
paperwork for entry to the U.S.)
2. To learn more about the visa process, visit
the U.S.
Department of State's visa pages. Everyone
entering the U.S. must also enroll in the
U.S.-VISIT
program. This program requires that visitors
have their index fingers scanned and a digital photo taken to
enhance the security of U.S. citizens and visitors.
3. OTC will send you updates about programs and
events surrounding OTC. Sign
up for OTC News to make sure you receive
the latest information.
4. The Houston Airport System is opening a new
Federal Inspection Services Facility on 25 January
2005, making it easier and faster to enter Houston. The new facility
includes 84 Immigration and Naturalization Services (INS) booths.
If you have any questions about our online invitation
letter, please contact service@otcnet.org.
