US Visa Help

[rajitha_ks]

I have a conference next month.
can anybody with recent experience in applying for US visa explain the procedure?
my sister got visa about six months back but that was for her higher studies..
i'll only be spending a few days there.. so appreciate comments from someone with such experience.

https://ceac.state.gov/genniv/default.aspx , http://www.ustraveldocs.com/lk/lk-niv-visaapply.asp there, this page has all the information you might need. My guess is you need a type B visa for conferences.

Make sure you have the invitation letter ready, and all tickets purchased for the event (if it's not a free conference of course). If YOU get paid for attending, that has to be a business visa at very least.

This would be a hell lot easier of you already have a Schengen or UK visa on your passport. Visa fee about 25k, just a little bit less than the Ausi.
