The United States said Wednesday Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has applied for a visa to attend the review conference of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in New York in May, DPA reported.

US Ambassador Susan Rice confirmed that the application has been filed, but did not say whether the US Department of State would grant the visa or not.
