We invite all National Federations to send their Preliminary Entry Forms to the USA Weightlifting ([email protected]) and to the IWF Secretariat ([email protected]) as soon as possible. SPECIAL NOTE: Visas for Travel to the United States If you require a visa for travel to the United States of America please apply for the visa as soon as possible. Time is now running out for visas to be approved in time for travel to the 2017 IWF World Championships. Please be aware of Rule 214(b) – this visa rule is that you must prove that you have good reason to return to your home nation. The law of the US makes an assumption of the wish to immigrate to the US, and it is up to the interviewee to prove this is not the case. This is the most common reason for visa denials. Kind Regards, 2017 IWF World Championship Organizing Committee -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Estimadas Federaciones Nacionales, Le recordamos que el Formulario de Inscripción Preliminar para los Campeonatos Mundiales de la IWF 2017 en Anaheim, California, EE. UU. Es 27 DE SEPTIEMBRE DE 2017. Puede encontrar los formularios de inscripción en el siguiente enlace. NOTA ESPECIAL: Visas para viajar a los Estados Unidos. Si necesita una visa para viajar a los Estados Unidos de América, solicite la visa lo antes posible. Se está agotando el tiempo para que las visas sean aprobadas a tiempo para viajar al Campeonato Mundial 2017 de la IWF. Tenga en cuenta la Regla 214 (b) - esta regla de visado es que usted debe probar que tiene buenas razones para regresar a su nación de origen. La ley de los EE.UU. hace una suposición del deseo de emigrar a los EE.UU., y es hasta el entrevistado para demostrar que no es el caso. Esta es la razón más común para negar la visa. Saludos cordiales, 2017 Comité Organizador del Campeonato del Mundo de la IWF -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Дорогие национальные федерации, Напоминаем, что предварительная заявка на участие в Чемпионате мира IWF 2017 года в Анахайме, штат Калифорния, США, должна состояться 27 сентября 2017 года. Форму заявки можно найти по следующей ссылке: СПЕЦИАЛЬНОЕ ПРИМЕЧАНИЕ: Визы для путешествий в Соединенные Штаты. Если вам нужна виза для поездок в Соединенные Штаты Америки, пожалуйста, подайте заявку на визу как можно скорее. Время заканчивается для того, чтобы визы были своевременно одобрены для участия в Чемпионатах мира IWF 2017 года. Пожалуйста, обратите внимание на правило 214 (b) - это правило визы заключается в том, что вы должны доказать, что у вас есть веские основания вернуться на родину. Закон США делает предположение о желании иммигрировать в США, и до интервьюируемого доказать, что это не так. Это самая распространенная причина отказа в выдаче визы. С уважением, 2017 Оргкомитет Чемпионата Мира
