Advance planning by non-US travelers is critical. The US State Department recommends all non-US travelers consider the following when making their plans to travel to the United States:
As soon as travel to the US is considered, non-US travelers should identify whether a visa is needed. If the traveler already has a US visa appropriate for this travel, check the expiration date on the visa to make sure it will not expire before the planned travel date.
In many cases, a visa will not be issued if the travelers passport will expire prior to six months after the travelers planned entry into the United States. For example, the 2006 ASCO Annual Meeting begins June 2, 2006. Passports for non-US citizens traveling to the US for the ASCO Annual Meeting must not expire before December 2, 2006.
ASCO-sponsored meetings are scientific in nature. Therefore, visa application should be made no later than 90 days in advance of the travel. Visa applicants will need to schedule an interview appointment as a first step in the visa process. Specific interview scheduling information for each embassy or consulate is available on the US State Department website at http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/tempvisitors_wait.php. Since wait times vary by embassy and time of year, we strongly encourage travelers to review this information, updated weekly.
Additional planning time beyond the guidelines above are needed for visa applicants applying at some embassies, due to the time required to schedule an interview appointment. Additionally, the interview wait times do not include time for required security clearances or administrative processing, which may extend beyond the general timeframe guidelines, for a portion of visa applicants.
