Entry Formality / US Visa<br />
The United States Department of State<br />
implemented a major policy change requiring<br />
that everyone seeking a visa to<br />
enter the U.S. schedule a face-to-face<br />
interview at a U.S. Consulate office.<br />
With this in mind, we strongly recommend<br />
that all participants needing to<br />
obtain a visa to attend the Course in<br />
<strong>Miami</strong> start the application process as<br />
soon as possible. We also advise contacting<br />
the local U.S. Consulate before<br />
beginning the process to obtain and<br />
follow all instructions. Most consulates<br />
and embassies have web sites that can<br />
be accessed through www.state.gov.<br />
This new policy will not affect citizens<br />
from the 27 countries currently participating<br />
in the Visa Waiver Programme
