Subject: booking confirmation required for for visas for russian furs
Yes, the issue was filed to those anounced EF channels, giving one example:
2012-05-09 @ vice-chairman@eurofurence.org : request about hotel confirmation
2012-05-16 @ chairman@eurofurence.org : - the same -
2012-05-23 @ reg@eurofurence.org and travel@eurofurence.org : - the same -
and all they get for over 3 weeks are automated ticket responses. These guys
need it, they do have dates with embassy to present their papers, they cannot
shift it, that are deadlines threatening visas killing whole vacation trips not just
EF. That is not a hotel for the first night, they DO need to present confirmation
on request for the whole period of the trip.
They have paid timely and now are let down by letting their request starve in
long queues. You did not even ask for timelines or offer it to be addressed until
a certain date: How can you let it happen? 3 of the guys are actually friends of
mine but it affects almost 30 from russia.
Please DO something now!!!
