Visa Delays/Denials

If your visa application to attend ACC.25 is delayed or denied, we want to know. If your application is still pending after forty-five (45) days and you are at risk of missing the meeting, report your case to the National Academies. Complete the questionnaire and answer the question "Purpose of Visit" by typing "ACC.25 Annual Scientific Session" to help the National Academies identify you as an ACC meeting participant.

Registration Refunds Due to a Visa Denial: Visa processing may require long lead times. Please plan accordingly! We highly recommend you apply for the U.S. visa 3 – 4 months in advance.
