[Atlas III Participants] [At-Large] ATLAS III vs NASIG travellers

Wed Oct 16 00:55:18 UTC 2019

Hi,

I haven't heard anything regarding my visa either and worry it may get
rejected or approved late but if it does get rejected I'd also be keen for
something like Narine is suggesting.

In my case, I had to submit online but travel out of town for Biometrics.

Regards
Cherie
