    Visa Information

    The site http://travel.state.gov has information about obtaining a visa for those traveling to the United States. It has links to websites for U.S. embassies and consulates worldwide. The embassy and consulate websites have very helpful information about procedures, timelines, communities served, required documentation, and fees. Please pay special attention to the visa waiting time (http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/wait/wait_4638.html). In some cases, it can take months to get a temporary visa to US.

    Letters from ACM:

    International registrants should be particularly aware and careful about visa requirements, and should plan travel well in advance. All visa inquiries must be handled by ACM HQ. Please send your request for a letter in support of a visa application to supportletters@acm.org and include your name, mailing address, and fax number, as well as the name of the conference you are attending. Authors of papers/demos/posters should also include the title. Please note that what you receive is a support letter. ACM does not issue formal "letters of invitation" to any of its conferences.
