Citizens of Canada whose sole purpose to enter
the United States is to attend UNAA San Francisco 2007 are allowed
to enter the U.S. as a B-1 Temporary Business Visitor without
an actual visa. To cross the U.S. border, you must produce evidence
of identity and Canadian nationality, residence in Canada , intent
to depart the U.S. , and/or documentation describing the business
purpose of your travel. If you are a non-Canadian residing in
Canada and not a citizen of a visa-waiver country, you will need
a visa. Follow

Travelers coming to the U.S. from visa waiver
countries for business purposes, 90 days or less, may be eligible

UNAA San Francisco Inc, will issue letters of
invitation to international registrants who need one. It is important
to fill out the registration information carefully and correctly
because names and addresses for letters of invitation will be
taken directly from the registration form.
The invitation letter is for each individual's use only
and is not transferable. The organizers of the UNAA San Francisco
2007 convention will not issue blanket, group or family letters.
The letter is for registered international attendees and exhibitors/vendors
only. Full registration costs and exhibition/vendor payment MUST
be received by UNAA San Francisco, Inc., prior to invitation letter
issuance.
The requirements and amount of time needed to
obtain an U.S. visa will vary from country to country. We recommend
that you obtain your visa no later than 3 weeks from the event.
Last-minute visa applications run the risk of not being approved
in time for the event.
It is the responsibility of each individual traveler
to ensure that he or she is correctly documented for travel prior
to coming to the United States for the UNAA Convention events.
It is expected that the invitee will cover all expenses including
airfare, food, ground transportation, insurance and lodging during
his visit to the U.S.
