APPLYING FOR A NON-IMMIGRANT US VISA

After we receive your registration and payment, we will send you a VISA support letter via email or fax to assist you in the VISA application process. The U.S. Embassy in Russia is aware of our Symposium and is ready to facilitate the VISA process. At this time, the VISA process averages 9 business days so please plan accordingly.

The following instructions are from the U.S. Embassy in Russia website:

A non-immigrant visa is necessary to visit the United States temporarily for tourism, business, studies, or cultural exchanges. The visa application process is really quite easy. A complete application consists of:

  • The appropriate application forms
  • A valid passport
  • Application fee
  • Any supporting documentation

Applicants should submit their complete application through Pony Express, a courier service with offices throughout Russia. After submitting the application, many applicants will receive their passports in several days with the approved visa. Pony Express will deliver passports of all applicants who receive visas to the address indicated at the time the application was submitted.

However, the majority of applicants will find it necessary to appear for an interview to discuss their visa application. Applicants requiring an interview receive the date and time of their appointment through Pony Express.

As a result of our efforts to enhance border security, the majority of applicants will be required to appear at the Embassy for finger scanning. Appointments for finger scanning are scheduled by Pony Express when applications are submitted.

Please visit the U.S. Embassy in Russia website to download the application materials and read more about the application process.

If you have any additional questions or concerns, please contact us by email at assistant@iealliance.org or by telephone at +1 617 304 1333.
