Securing a Visa for PASTE'02
If you are planning on attending PASTE and require a Visa
you must send a letter of request to Ginger Ignatoff
(ignatoff@hq.acm.org) at ACM.
This letter must include the following information:
- name of prospective participant
- mailing address
- name and address of embassy or consulate where you will be applying for the visa
- name of the meeting you wish to attend, i.e., PASTE'2002
Upon receipt of this information, a visa application letter will be
mailed to the given address. Note that US embassies and consulates will
not process the letter if sent or faxed to them; the person must bring
it with them to their appointment or submit it with their request.
If you wish to have a copy of the letter faxed to you, please include
a fax number in the above information.
Participants requesting a visa application letter should
check the website for the embassy or consulate where they will be applying.
The main link for the US Embassy
is www.usembassy.state.gov
and it has links to the individual embassies and consultates.
The situation with respect to visa applications has changed several times
and it may well change again. We encourage you to begin the process early.
