Yeah Thomas, I forgot that.

It's prundet give the scolarschips to whom already have the visas. Two months would be impossible normally (at least for Brazil, idk for other countried visa-needed). We could request special priority, but it's risky and always can be denied.

Yeah, but not all brazilians editors follow these lists.

A good idea too give priority to whom already have the visa. This could avoid problems to Wikimania staff.

How that can be possible if the answers to scholarship applications are made in January - March? I would suggest to - If you applied for the scholarship - send a mail to the USA embassy scheduling the request for visa. If takes at least 3 months, will be done only in Feb (if you request now - December is a dead month in Brazil) and by them, you will have a result for your application.

Hello everyone,

As you know in 2012, United States will held Wikimania at Washington D.C.! Yeah.

But make a Wikimania in U.S.A. have some problems, you probably know it but I wanna clarify to you.

U.S. just dispense visas to thirty-six nations. All of the dozens left over need a visa to enter in.

Last year I was selected to attend Wikimania 2011 at Haifa (the best moments ever in my life, btw, would love to support Washington too, ops :D) and WMF contacted me six months before.

In this ''six months before'' have one problem.

In Brazil (not only, but in the most countries that need the visa) we take 3 months to schedule (and get some free time - it's vacation in Brazil and the people wanna travel) the visit to U.S. Embassy to require the visa. When we requite the visa, we take more 3~~4 months to receive the answer of Embassy. Over 6 months. And half per cent of the visas are denied. We could appeal, and would take more two months.

It would be the biggest problem ever in a Wikimania organization. And happens in a really lot of countries which need a visa to enter in U.S.A.

I suggest to announce to the people who live in that countries early. Earliest as possible. Maybe 8 or 9 months before... Take a visa to US really isn't easy.

What do you think?

You mean try and slip across the border unnoticed? The consequences if you
were caught would be very serious. I don't think the wikimedia movement can
condone illegal immigration in order to attend wikimania.

Canadians don't need a visa for most short visits. But by "Canadians"
I mean people with a Canadian passport. If you have a Brazilian
passport, it doesn't matter how you enter the US (by air, land or sea,
directly from Brazil or via Canada), you will need a US visa. A
Canadian visa won't help you get into the US at all: the US and Canada
are separate countries with border controls between them (the border
isn't open like the one between the UK and Ireland, or the borders
between Schengen countries in Europe).

That said, I hear it's possible to get a visa from a US consulate in
Canada, which I presume will have shorter waiting times than some
consulates elsewhere. But this is probably not allowed in most
circumstances if you're not a Canadian citizen. In the OP's case where
his country of citizenship doesn't have a consulate or embassy and
he's gonna have to apply in a third country anyway, it might just be
allowed, I guess. But Canada is a lot farther from Iran than Turkey or
the UAE and doesn't have visa-free travel for Iranians either, so
you'd have to get a visa in order to get a visa :P . I wouldn't know
what sort of choice you have in choosing the country where you apply
for a visa and whether you're allowed to apply in a country farther
away from Iran where waiting times are shorter. You should probably
talk to an immigration lawyer about that sort of thing.

The waiting times will probably be pretty short for Canadians (in
those cases where they need visas). I would expect foreign nationals
to have quite a long wait, since the US consulate in Canada won't have
experts on Iranians and what checks need to done and won't have
systems in place to do those checks quickly. Countries bordering Iran
probably do such checks reasonably frequently, so would probably be
quicker.

Well, i know that canadian citizens are allowed to enter USA legally
without a visa for visiting or studying.

http://canada.usembassy.gov/visas/information-for-canadians.html

Since it's getting cold, people called "Snowbirds" are leaving Canada for
USA. They are allowed to stay for *182 days.*

Yep. Generally speaking, it is easiest for Canadians (i.e. bearers of
Canadian passports) to enter the United States. The only thing easier
is if you're a U.S. citizen or permanent resident returning to the
U.S. It's a more relaxed system because people in border communities
(for example: Detroit, Michigan and Windsor, Ontario) tend to cross
the border frequently. Migration between the U.S. and Canada is
governed by the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative, which allows
several different kinds of documentation instead of a passport:
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Hemisphere_Travel_Initiative>.
For what it's worth, though, it isn't like the old days where a birth
certificate or voter registration would have been enough.
