For citizens of countries participating in the Visa Waiver Program

Citizens of these 36 countries do not need a visa, but must have obtained approval through the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) prior to travel to the USA. You can find all relevant information on which countries these are, and how to do the ESTA application at travel.state.gov/visa/temp/without/without_1990.html.

You will need to apply for a B-1 visa at a US Embassy or Consulate. For this purpose, you will need a letter from IIiX 2010 confirming your registration/participation in this meeting, as well as other information. To obtain this letter, please first register for the conference, and then send a letter to Nick Belkin (Belkin@rutgers.edu) requesting one.
