Visas

ASBMB invites all who are interested from around the world to join us at the ASBMB Annual Meeting in Chicago.

All individuals traveling from outside the United States must apply for visas as soon as possible and at least four to five months before the date of travel. The most updated information can be found on the U.S. State Department website. Scientists visiting the U.S. may find helpful information on The National Academies of Sciences website. Visa appointment wait times can be found here.

Please do not wait until you receive your registration confirmation before applying for a visa. We encourage you to apply for your visa right away if considering attending to avoid delays and longer than anticipated wait times.
