tourist visa Invitation letter to a symposium with a grant

[Omar Lalaoui 0]

Hello, 

I'm a student from Algeria, I've won a grant to attend a symposium in the USA, they sent me an invitation letter which mentions everything (the dates / days of stay (6) / my passport number / the areas where I'll stay))
In the Ds-160 I answered to " who is going to pay for your trip " that the organisation will and I've put their details. So will that be enough for me as financial proof ? what other documents should I take with me as a student ? Thank you.
Best,

Should be fine.

If you’re a student be sure to bring proof of continued enrollment in your university to your interview, as you’ll need to show that you will return home afterwards as well.

I would expect the credibility of the sponsoring organisation may be a factor, assuming they do this a lot they will also be able to guide you.

From what he said of the invitation letter it sounds like they do. I once got a similar visa letter from an educational institution,  they clearly knew everything that was required for the visa application.

 

Also possible OP gets one of those restricted B visas issued specifically to attend the symposium, rather than multi-year multiple entry.

If there is a program online for the symposium or some information on what it is, I'd print it and include the web address for it. 

 

They'll probably ask you what is the symposium about and why do you want to go.
