There's some people (well, at least 1) that are *still* waiting for a
decision on their visa applications for Wikimania 2012.

If there's any reason to suspect that people from a particular country
would have a harder time getting their application through than people
from other countries then they should just play it safe and apply
sooner than later. If that means applying before the scholarship
decisions are in then so be it. IMHO
