We can also provide you with a personal letter of invitation should this be required to obtain funding or the visa to enter United States.

• Foreign Currency Exchange

  Bloomington banks and shops do not provide currency exchange services on a routine basis. We recommend that you obtain sufficient US currency before your departure or from one of the currency exchanges services located in major ports of entry airports such as New York or Chicago. Practically all shops, hotels (including the IMU), and restaurants accept major credit cards.
