Can NAB help with getting a visa/visa application?
“Thank you very much for your interest in attending NAB Show New York. Unfortunately, we do not have any influence on the visa application process by the United States. We sympathize with your situation and we are realizing that a large number of visa renewals and applications are taking much longer than expected because of a backlog of applications that grew during the pandemic. Many embassies were not open or processing these requests resulting in a longer wait time. May I suggest that you still put your application in and try for the 2026 NAB Show (April 19-22, 2026), or the 2026 NAB Show New York Show in October.
