Visa help
From 2014.igem.org
Here you can find help and information on how to apply for a visa to go to an iGEM 2014 Jamboree. Certain countries require a visa for citizens to enter the United States. Please verify if you will require a visa to attend the Giant Jamboree.
iGEM Headquarters does not have any authority over consulate offices or the visa application process. The only way to have the highest chance of successfully obtaining a visa is to apply early. If you do not yet know who will be attending the Jamboree, err on the side of caution and have all members apply for a visa.
Students should apply for B-1 visas, not B-2. This is a business visa, not a travel visa. Under a travel visa you are not allowed to present at a conference.
