VISA and Support Letter

If you are an international attendee, you may need a valid VISA to enter USA. Please check the US Department of State for more information.
As part of the VISA application process, you may be required to include a visa support letter. To request a visa support letter, you need to register for the CPS-IoT Week 2023 first, and then email your request to the ACM Headquarters (supportletters@acm.org) with the following information included:

• Your name as it appears in your passport,
• Your current postal mailing address,
• The name of the conference/workshop you plan to attend in CPS-IoT Week 2023,
• If you have any papers accepted for the conferences at the CPS-IoT Week 2023, please provide the title, the conference name, and indicate whether you are the "sole author" or a "co-author",
• Your registration confirmation number.

Visa support letters are processed in the order they are received. You will receive a PDF letter by email in 7-10 business days. The PDF serves as a signed electronic version of the original letter. Please print out your PDF visa support letter and take it with you to your visa appointment. The original letter is mailed only upon an explicit request. Note that visa support letters will be provided to only those participants who have registered and paid for the venue. Should a participant withdraw from the conference after the issue of the visa support letter, the consulate will be notified of the withdrawal accordingly.
ACM does not provide letters for transport of vendor or presenter equipment. ACM suggests shipping the materials insured to the conference facility.
