Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I get a letter to support my Visa Application?
    • Yes. To get such a letter email sbpbrims@andrew.cmu.edu and request the letter. Please note the dates needed. In addition, if you are giving a paper, a poster or submitting a challenge response mention that so we can add it to the letter.
