Some of the issues I know about might have been prevented with better communication. Ellie, can you ask people to have experienced visa problems to contact you or someone else at WMF so that WMF can create a list of problems and work on how to prevent these in future years?

Sorry you all faced issues with visa. As part of the core volunteer team, I was sad to hear of various visa issues.
Night!

It's not just two visa denials. I'm pretty sure about at least five cases including mine.
It was predictable for me so I talked to one of my friends two months ago to take over my presentation in case of visa denial. For the next events I suggest you to be prepared for issues like this.

Hi,
This is the second report I have heard about last minute visa surprises. This kind of problem is disruptive not just for those who were denied
entry
but for others who were planning on the attendance of the person whose
visa
was denied.
In any case, can you give your presentation remotely?
