Being a Student Volunteer is a great way to enter the HRI research community, meet other students in your field, and attend one of most important conferences in HRI. We are looking to include students with diverse backgrounds in HRI and from all parts of the world.

To request funding, please send the following information to adriana.tapus@usc.edu

(1) Provide:

  1. Your Name,
  2. Your Affiliation (name and address of college/university),
  3. Your Contact Information (email address and telephone number(s)).

(2) Indicate:

  1. whether you are a part-time or full-time student, and include the name of your faculty advisor with email and telephone contact information;
  2. whether or not you are a (co)author of a paper or poster (please specify whether regular poster or informal poster) at HRI09;
  3. if you are receiving or requesting funding from the Young Researchers Workshop on 10 March 2009
  4. Please include information about your area of study.

(3) A statement of your requested funding amount and a brief justification of your funding needs (250 words maximum).

We can however issue a visa support letter. For Visa support letters, please send all requests to the Office of SIG Services bucci@hq.acm.org with the following information:

  • Name and mailing address as it appears on your passport
  • The name of the conference you wish to attend
  • Your Registration Confirmation Number
  • If you are the author of any papers accepted for the conference, please provide the title.
  • A valid fax number and current mailing address (**Please note: visa support letters are NOT issued via email)

Visa regulations can be complex and often change. The U.S. has recently updated its visa policies and implemented new security measures in order to increase national security. Visa applications process will likely take longer than it has in the past. Therefore, we recommend that all delegates verify visa requirements with the American Consulate in their own country as soon as possible (see the U.S Notice on Current Visa Processing Situation). The information on this web site can serve as a useful starting point.

Note: The U.S. State Department website is as follows: https://travel.state.gov/ For an additional visa overview, go to the following U.S. State Department visa portal site, which is as follows: https://www.unitedstatesvisas.gov/

Exemptions

Canadian citizens and landed immigrants of Canada having a common nationality with Canadians (i.e. British Commonwealth citizens) are already visa-exempt. Some other visitors to the U.S. are visa exempt under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP). This program’s benefits are limited to nationals of countries that extend reciprocal privileges to U.S. citizens and whose nationals have not been refused nonimmigrant visas beyond a specified rate. The waivers are open to nationals of any designated country regardless of their place of residence or point of embarkation.

For more information on the VWP, please visit the following website: https://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/without/without_1990.html

Obtaining your Visa

A detailed outline is available on the following website:

It is important to remember that visa processing and operations can vary depending on local circumstances.
