Invitation Letter

International registrants who plan to attend the AALAS National Meeting are urged to research VISA application requirements for their country and to apply early. Please note that AALAS cannot assist with VISA applications or with the embassies, but can assist with providing invitation letters to attend the meeting. Invitation letters to attend the AALAS National Meeting may be obtained through the following process:
• Send e-mail requests to john.mccutchen@aalas.org no later than July 17 to allow for timely VISA application, facilitate early registration for the meeting at the lower rate, and increase chances of booking a hotel in the AALAS block.
• Include in the request the applicant’s full name and complete mailing address.
• Invitation letters will be mailed via regular U.S. post. If expedited delivery is desired, the applicant must prepay for this service.
• Requests received after July 17 will continue to be mailed via regular U.S. post; however, if expedited delivery is requested, the applicant must prepay for this service.
