How to Request a Letter of Invitation for Visa Application

During the registration process all international exhibitors and attendees will be given the opportunity to request a letter of invitation. If you have already registered but did not request a letter, you may do so by editing your registration and selecting the Visa Letter option. Please Note: NAB has no influence over the US Department of State issuing visas. We cannot assist you with the interview process, nor can anyone representing NAB call the embassy or consulate on your behalf to provide support for granting a visa.

Visa Application Process

• Request your letter early. We recommend you request your Visa Letter by February 18, 2008, 8 weeks prior to the show.
• Refer to the U.S. Department of State’s website at http://travel.state.gov for the most complete, up-to-date information as
