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 was predictable for me so I talked to one of my friends two months
