This letter outlines the reason for your travel and is used as a supporting document in your visa application.
Once your conference registration is complete, you will need to contact us at:

Please note: This letter does not guarantee that you will be
granted a visa, nor does it commit Uinvest, Inc. to assist you in
obtaining a visa. Uinvest, Inc. will not pay any expenses incurred by
you. It is the sole responsibility of the attendee to obtain the
necessary paperwork for entry to the U.S. It may take additional time to
obtain travel documents. It is advisable to start the process early.
Ensure that you have a visa in time for the Uinvest 2012 Global Meeting by beginning the visa process early. Start by reading the U.S. Department of State's step-by-step outline on how to obtain a visa.
Step 1 - Visa requirements
If the country you are originating from is on the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) list, then you may choose to follow Option 2.
If your originating country is not on the VWP list, you may choose to follow Option 1.
To see if your country is on the VWP list, visit the Visa Waiver Program countries list.
Option 1 (Visa required)
All travelers to the U.S. require a visa unless from a VWP country
(see above). The following information will assist you in obtaining a
visa in time for travel to Uinvest 2012 Global Meeting/Los Angeles:

Option 2 (Visa Waiver Program)
For those traveling without a visa to the United States from one of
the 35 Visa Waiver Program (VWP) countries (see Step 1 above), a
machine-readable passport is now required. If your country is not yet
issuing machine-readable passports, you will need to obtain a visa for
travel as referred to in Option 1. For more information regarding
machine-readable passports, please refer to Step 3 below.
International visitors to the United States from Visa Waiver Program
(VWP) countries are also now required to apply for travel authorization
online via the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA). For
more information regarding this recent change, please visit the ESTA Web site.
Please note that the information listed above is a general guideline
for travel to the United States. Because travel requirements may change,
Uinvest recommends that attendees contact their local embassy to ensure
they have proper documentation.
Step 2 - US-VISIT Program
All travel to the U.S. with a non-immigrant visa, regardless of country of origin, requires registration in the US-VISIT Program. This includes visitors traveling under the Visa Waiver Program.
Scans are needed of your two index fingers and a digital photograph in
order to match and authenticate travel documents at the port of entry.
US-VISIT requirements do not replace visa requirements for entering the
United States.
Step 3 - Machine-readable passport requirements
All VWP travelers to the U.S., regardless of age or type of passport
used, must present a machine-readable passport. Depending on when
travelers' passports were issued, other requirements may apply:
- Machine-readable passports issued or renewed/extended on or after
26 October 2006 require an integrated chip with information from the
data page (e-Passport).
- Machine-readable passports issued or renewed/extended between 26 October 2005 and 25 October 2006 require a digital photograph printed on the data page or an integrated chip with information from the data page.
- Machine-readable passports issued or renewed/extended before 26 October 2005 are not subject to further requirements.
- Machine-readable passports issued or renewed/extended between 26 October 2005 and 25 October 2006 require a digital photograph printed on the data page or an integrated chip with information from the data page.
- Machine-readable passports issued or renewed/extended before 26 October 2005 are not subject to further requirements.
To determine if you have a machine-readable passport, visit the U.S. Visa Information site.
Important note
Travelers may now be asked to provide their name as it appears on the
government ID they plan to use when traveling. Airlines will also begin
asking passengers to provide their date of birth and gender, as part of
the TAS Secure Flight Program.
