Letters of Invitation

Show Management can provide international visitors with official invitation letters in support of a U.S. visa application. In order to receive your invitation letter, follow these instructions:

** Before you request your invitation letter, you must have your passport number ready and be prepared to pay the general online registration fee ($20)

1. Register to attend AG CONNECT Expo online.
2. Once you enter a home residence country outside of the U.S., the system will ask you for your passport number, date of birth, and other personal information - you must fill in all required information.
3. Fill in all demographic questions regarding your business and professional background.
4. Register for any education and training programs you are interested in (extra charges involved).
5. Pay the admission fee ($20 for general admission, January 13-15).
6. After your payment is accepted, you will be taken to a summary screen of your personal information. Click 'View Visa Letter' - this will open a PDF of your invitation. Print the invitation immediately and save for your U.S. visa interview.
7. In case you need access to the letter again, you can either save the PDF to your computer, or log on to your registration summary. Use your last (family) name and registration ID # which was sent to your email with your confirmation information directly after you first registered.
