Important Information Still Needed!

Thank you for responding to my email request and we appreciate your quick responses.

We are still missing a color copy of the page in your passport which has your photo and vital information on it. This information is needed in order to assist you with securing your Mexican Visa. Without this information we will not be able to provide you with the Sponsor Letter or provide help with the Embassy to expedite your request.

Please submit no later than Feb 6, 22:00 UTC.

Let me know if you do not have this information, having trouble meeting the deadline or have any questions.

Sincere Regards,

Dear All: It would help very much if participants did not send broadcast emails about visas to many people and to mailing lists. Believe me, we are actively working with each one of you who has said there is an issue with visas. Those helping us do this are receiving many emails beyond what is necessary to help you - the volume of mail being received actually increases the possibility that something important will get missed, rather than helping us to help you. In addition, unless a member of the At-Large staff is specifically involved in helping with a visa issue, sending emails about them to us is redundant and time consuming. Where we are needed to be involved directly our partners - the local hosts, other members of staff, KCA - are involving us. We will send an email update on the situation with all those who have visas in progress to the Afr-Discuss list later today, without personally-identifying information. In the meantime, please - help us to help you. Send any issues that you have with YOUR visa to the people whom you have been asked to contact, and not to groups of other people. I should also let you know that it is confusing for individual travellers to send emails about the situation related to other travellers, EXCEPT if it relates directly to the situation of the person sending the message. Please, help us to help you. More emails does not equal more help - and in fact can have the opposite effect. Hawa Diakite wrote:
