You will have to take the invitation letter along with a visa application to a U.S. consulate in your country. The U.S. consulate will review your application and determine whether a visa will be granted. 

If someone is applying to their embassy (and is registered), they may ask for a U.S. contact person:

Yes. We understand that being granted a visa is something beyond your control. Make sure you keep copies of your registration and letter of denial to provide as proof when you apply for a refund.

No. U.S. Embassies and Consulates will not accept communications from NAB, related to scheduling visa interviews or the acceptance of visa applications. It is up to you, the registered individual, to submit the completed visa application, along with the printed letter of invitation provided during registration, to your in-country U.S. Embassy.

Unfortunately, NAB does not have any influence over the U.S. visa application or approval process. Visa decisions are made solely by the U.S. Department of State and U.S. embassies and consulates.

We understand that visa appointment availability and processing times can be challenging, and many applicants are currently experiencing delays. If you are unable to secure a visa appointment or receive approval in time for the event, we encourage you to still submit your application and consider attending a future NAB Show event, including NAB Show 2027 (April 4-7, 2027, in Las Vegas) or NAB Show New York 2027 (October 2027 in New York City).

For registered attendees and exhibitors, NAB can provide a visa support letter to assist with your application; however, the letter does not guarantee visa issuance or expedite processing.

Please contact registration customer service at [email protected] or call +1 864-342-6296. Provide them with your full name, company name and registration ID number. They can access the registration system and resend your confirmation email, which includes a link to your Letter of Invitation.

Be sure to check your spam or junk folder as well, as confirmation emails are sometimes filtered there.

Go into your exhibitor dashboard and click on the button “Add Booth Personnel.” This will take you to the registration page where you will need to enter your booth personnel’s contact information.

Be sure to put in their names as it would appear on their passport as well as their company email and physical address overseas. 

After you register your booth personnel, a visa letter will be automatically generated and sent to your colleagues’ inbox. This email sometimes ends up in spam, so make sure to check there frequently.    

NAB membership offers an array of benefits including show discounts, free legal or technology advice and access to valuable resources. To learn more, visit NAB membership at NAB.org/membership, email [email protected] or call +1 202-429-5400.
