Thank you for your request for an invitation to attend the SURFACES Trade Show and Conference to be held from January 24, 2011-January 27, 2011 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. The show is produced by Hanley Wood Exhibitions and sponsored by the World Floor Covering Association.  It is understood that you or your company shall pay all expenses to attend SURFACES. These expenses include, but are not limited to, airfare, lodging, meals, ground transportation and incidentals. 

 

In order to visit the United States, you will need to obtain a visa for this purpose. SURFACES highly recommends that you go to your U.S. Embassy or Consulate’s website at http://www.usembassy.gov/ to see what your specific VISA requirements and wait times are. The timeframes for visa processing are difficult to predict, therefore, it is recommended to apply at least three months prior to your travel date to avoid frustration.

 

This letter may be printed and used for your visa interview as supporting documentation from SURFACES and Hanley Wood Exhibitions. Emailed copies may be accepted but it is recommended that you review your U.S. Embassy or Consulate’s website for specific requirements. Please remember that your letter does not guarantee you your Visa, it is one piece that your U.S. Embassy will look at to determine your eligibility for a Visa.  Unfortunately, I am not able to contact U.S. Embassies or Consulates in support or on behalf of an individual attempting to gain entry into the U.S. to attend SURFACES 2011.

 

If you have specific questions about obtaining your Visa, please contact the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Consular Affairs Visa Services at http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_1262.html or your U.S. Embassy or Consulate’s website. For more information on the show, call +1 (972) 536.6400 or visit www.Surfaces.com.

 


Kind Regards,
