We are coming from a country that requires visas to come to the USA. Can UNA-USA help us?
Yes and no. UNA-USA will be happy to draft a letter of invitation for each participant in the conference (registered students and adult advisors only). We will send out an email in January asking for those schools that require such letters. Schools are responsible for requesting letters in a timely manner; requests made in late February or March will not be honored. Please be sure that students have valid passports by January to expedite the process! Unfortunately, UNA-USA can not assist in contacting embassies or consulates, scheduling visa appointments, or any other procedures associated with gaining permission to attend the conference. Schools MUST begin this process early, as it can take many months for visas to be issued in some countries.
