International Attendees: Your Complete Guide to Traveling to Reliable Plant Conference 2027
Attending the Reliable Plant Conference & Exhibition from outside the United States requires advance planning and preparation. This guide provides clear, step-by-step instructions to help you navigate the visa process and travel requirements for entering the United States for our conference taking place June 14–17, 2027 in Mobile, Alabama.
Overview: Plan Early for U.S. Travel
Important: Advance travel planning and early visa application are important, as visa processing times vary significantly by country and time of year. We recommend beginning your visa application process as soon as you register for the conference. Ideally 3-4 months before your planned travel date in June 2027.

Step 1: Determine If You Need a Visa. Check the Visa Waiver Program (VWP).
Citizens of certain countries may travel to the United States without a visa through the Visa Waiver Program. The VWP enables most citizens or nationals of participating countries to travel to the United States for tourism or business for stays of 90 days or less without obtaining a visa.
If your country is on the VWP list, you do not need a visa, but you must:
- Possess an electronic passport (e-Passport) with an embedded biometric chip
- Apply for authorization through ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) before traveling
- Plan to stay in the U.S. for 90 days or less
Apply for authorization through the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) online before departure to the United States: https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/
If Your Country Is NOT on the VWP List
You will need to apply for a B-1/B-2 visitor visa at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate in your country.
Step 2: Request Your Visa Invitation Letter (If Needed)
If you are applying for a visa, Reliable Plant Conference & Exhibition can provide you with a Visa Invitation Letter to support your application.
Who Is Eligible for a Visa Invitation Letter?
- Conference speakers and instructors
- Registered attendees who have paid their registration fee in full
How to Request Your Visa Invitation Letter
- During Registration: You can request a Visa Invitation Letter when you register for Reliable Plant 2027
- After Registration: Email our Event Manager at registrations@noria.com.
Delivery Method: The Visa Invitation Letter will be emailed to you as a PDF document after your registration is complete and payment has been received in full. Original letters cannot be mailed via Post, DHL, or Airmail.
Important Notes About Visa Invitation Letters
- Reliable Plant Conference provides the letter as documentation only. Under no circumstance will we provide a Visa Invitation Letter to anyone who has not registered and paid in full.
- The Visa Invitation Letter does not financially obligate Noria Corporation in any way. All travel expenses, accommodations, and conference costs are the sole responsibility of the attendee.
- Noria is not authorized to assist with the visa application process beyond providing the Visa Invitation Letter. We cannot influence visa decisions or intervene in visa denials.
Step 3: Apply for Your U.S. Visa (If Required). Check Visa Wait Times.
Before applying, review current visa appointment wait times for your location. Wait times are updated monthly and show how long people typically waited for interviews in the previous month.
