Participants from outside the United States may need to apply for a visa at the American Embassy, consulate, or other visa-issuing office in their country of origin. Please begin your visa application process as soon as you register. Consulates in some countries take several months to process applications. For information on obtaining your visa, go to https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas.html. As soon as you contemplate travel to the United States, and after identifying that a visa is needed, contact the US embassy or consulate for information about current visa processing time estimates and processes.

For visa purposes, a letter of invitation from the conference organizers may be obtained. Please email Conference Management at conferences@union.wisc.edu with “Soy2025 Invitation” in the email Subject header. In your email include (in English) your full name, department and organization name and mailing address.

Attendance

Letters of attendance and participation will only be sent out if you personally request one during the conference. If the emailed letter does not fulfill requirements needed by your organization for proof of attendance, please contact Conference Management at conferences@union.wisc.edu with the specific information needed.
