Visa Application Tips:

Apply EARLY! New screening processes are in place at all U.S. Embassies that could delay your application processing time. We suggest you begin the visa application process at least 60 days prior to your travel date. To determine typical wait times to secure an interview, contact the Consular Section of your local Embassy.
Present proof that you have strong ties to your country of residence. Proof of employment or business ownership are good examples of strong ties.
If possible, show proof that you have traveled internationally before and have returned within the time restrictions of your visa.
Present your visa letter of invitation to the Consular Officer during the visa interview. The visa letter of invitation, though not required for the visa application, can assist as a supporting document.

Be Prepared for Your Interview:

Make sure you have all the necessary documentation with you at your interview. You will need the following:

A valid passport
Appropriate visa application forms
Documents detailing employment status, reason for travel and financial status. It is recommended that you provide an official letter of invitation from Show Management and proof of advance registration to attend the show. Proof of previous visits to the U.S.
Proof of payment of visa fees
Any additional documents required by your local Embassy or Consulate
