US Visas

Participants who need US visa to attend the workshop are advised to read the following information about nonimmigrant visas at the web site of US Embassy in Moscow and particularly the following:

Anyone applying for a visa to attend a scientific or technical conference, conduct research, participate in meetings, undertake post-graduate studies, or engage in employment in a scientific or technical field should submit the current resume or CV indicating your educational background, work history, your current job responsibilities, field of expertise and research interest, and the list of publications. These documents must be provided in English.

Additional administrative processing is often required by U.S. Embassy Moscow’s Consular Section for individuals involved in scientific or technical fields of work or study. We recommend that all applicants, particularly those involved in scientific or technical fields, apply for a visa as soon as they are aware of their travel plans to the U.S. We urge all applicants to apply no later than 30 days before the intended date of travel. Unfortunately, in most cases the possibility that your visa may be subject to additional processing will not be considered an emergency for the purpose of granting expedited appointments.
