it, please send email to meet@ams.org
and an invitation will be forwarded as soon as possible. In order

27 Visa Waiver Program (VWP) countries that as of June 26, 2005,
they must have a machine-readable passport to enter the United States
without a visa. Beginning June 26, 2005, transportation carriers
will be fined US $3,300, per violation, for transporting any VWP
traveler to the United States without a machine-readable passport.
Similarly, VWP travelers arriving in the United States on that date
without a machine-readable passport should not anticipate being
granted one-time entry into the country. As an alternative for persons
with immediate travel plans who are unable to obtain a machine-readable
passport in time, the individual may apply for a U.S. visa at a
U.S. Consulate or Embassy abroad. |
