Top asian team
XcN is currently having their hands tied trying to obtain visas to the USA for the ESWC Grand Finals. The team was succesful in the Indonesian qualifiers for ESWC, coming in first place and were excited at the opportunity to travel to USA.
XcN has only traveled around in Asian events like ESTC in Thailand. This would have been the first opportunity they were granted to play against top tier international teams on LAN.
They are currently facing their toughest challenge yet on the road to the ESWC. XcN's recent application for US visas to attend the ESWC at San Jose got rejected, so the chances of them attending the prestigious event seems grim.
(We have) bad news. Our visa is rejected. It's hard for Muslim country to get USA visa, even you aren't Muslim. In Indonesia, only 20% accepted visa. Depends on ambassador mood.But we will try 1 more chances to apply. |
We would like to wish XcN all the best and we hope they make it through this predicament.

Things look bad for XcN. I suppose playing a video game in the United States is not enough reason for granting visa

Sorry but, even if they were muslins i would SHOUT: SO, WHAT THEN?
Many americans fucked up in Vietnam but they still traveling around the whole fucking globe. It's not about the US and it's citizens, it's all about prejudice against people who has nothing to do w/ terrorism. They have nothing to do w/ it as much as american citizens have nothing to do, at least I hope, w/ the atrocities that their Government does. "Every man shares the same captivity" - Sêneca (Life?)

American embassy in Indonesia. Our ambassador's name is Cameron R. Hume. Contact information is here: http://jakarta.usembassy.gov/officials.html From their website: "May I or my U.S. citizen relative talk to a consular officer about my case? Due to the high volume of visa applicants, consular officers discuss cases only during the interview. Applicants, their attorney, or U.S. citizen relatives may contact the Consular section about visa cases by e-mail at jakconsul@state.gov or by fax to +62-21-385-7189. Inquiries must include the applicant’s full name, date of birth, and passport number. Except for emergencies, consular officers do not accept telephone inquiries about visa cases." Hmmm. | |
|
Also from their website:
"Why was my visa application refused? According to U.S. immigration law, all applicants for tourist visas must demonstrate at the time of the visa application that they are not intending to immigrate into the United States . They must also demonstrate that they will not be conducting any improper activity that is not allowed by the type of visa for which they are applying. If a consular officer refused your visa application, he/she was either unsure that you would come back to Indonesia or suspected that you were going to the United States for some purpose other than that which you declared." I think XcN needs to demonstrate that ESWC is a real and actual thing, which actually may be difficult considering that it isn't widely known outside of the gaming community. If someone from ESWC itself could either get in contact with the embassy, or send over some sort of formal invitation or brochure, it'd probably go a long way. Either way, I'm personally writing to the previously mentioned email address. | |
