Dear Employee,

Please go through the following information:

1. Fill the attached registration form and send along with a scanned copy of your International Passport and passport photograph to logistics@csdun.org for us to forward to our agent in charge of orientation program, travel arrangements and H-3 Visa processing.

2. Upon receipt of the Documents, you will be informed of the necessary requirements for travel and H-3 Visa procurement. Please note that all travel procedures are to be handled strictly by our agents and employees are to follow instructions to avoid any delays or complications in order to be on schedule for the program. Visit of the U.S. or any other embassy is not advise until letter of recommendation have been dispatched for visa/travel purposes and all requirements have been put in place by our agent.

3. Shortly after fulfilment of all the requirements with our agent, an official acceptance package consisting of the following documents will be sent to employees:

* Employee's Copy of approved form I-129.
* Petition for Non immigrant Worker.
* Official Training Invitation and Recommendation letter.
* Training program and Schedule.
* Participant's Travel Information Guide Prior to departure, the applicant receives an update on the status of his/her flight schedule from our Agent including the airline to be used, the expected time of departure (ETD) and expected time of arrival (ETA).

4. Our Agent picks up the employee at the airport upon completion of immigration and customs formalities.

5. CSD is responsible for meals, Flight and Transport expenses and not your Visa procurement charges with USCIS or with the U.S embassy.

6. For those who are U.S citizens and do not need visa, send only your filled registration form and passport photograph to us and indicate (U.S CITIZEN) on the subject of your email. Those with valid U.S visas but NOT the specified H-3 visa are expected to apply for the H-3 visa.

7. Employees will have one month to themselves for final preparations after their Orientation/Training exercise in the United States before resuming permanently in their respective duty stations. At this time they can travel back to their country if they wish or make preparations from the United States to their duty stations.

8. Spouse are allowed to travel with employee for the one month training in New York if employee wishes, but the travel arrangement will be conducted by our agents and the extra expense of spouse will be borne by employee and not CSD.

Thank you for your co-operation.
