Visa application for Japan

The most straight forward and organized application I have completed so far. Last time I was really pissed off with the Canadian visa application process. It's too much. See the following:

• Documents required:
• Filled out visa application form (very precise and straight forward)
• I-20 (for student) 
• I-94 page (can be printed online from USCIS website)
• US visa page
• 2x2 inch passport size photo ($15 quick service @CVS)
• Passport
• Bank statement
• Travel itinerary (got it from an agent)
• Hotel reservation for the duration mentioned in the itinerary
• Additional documents:
• Reason for invitation form filled out by the person in Japan
• Inviting person's ID (passport or national ID)
• Conference official schedule
• Competition agreement letter for Amazon Robotics Challenge17
• Competition team information
• I made copy of my passport pages just to be on the safe side
• My summer internship offer letter from US Army Research Lab, Adelphi, Maryland
• During the submission they don't ask for processing fee ($27-$55). Only Cash. Only after the visa is granted they ask for money. Luckily for Bangladeshi applicants, there is no visa processing fee. Love you Japan :D
