Yup. I was once invited to an US conference that was going to happen two weeks from my invitation. Even getting an appointment with the embassy within that timeline was impossible.
Later I went for a different reason and if I recall the time to actually getting a visa was around 2 months.
- ghaff 3y agoHonestly, unless it's some critical customer/business thing (which I have had), anyone who wants me to speak at an international conference with two weeks notice is going to get told "My schedule is packed."
- dale_glass 3y agoThat was a long time ago and it was Linden Lab inviting me to some sort of Second Life open source discussion group. I wouldn't have done much good there anyway so it was no big loss for anyone -- My spoken English was barely understandable at the time, I think most of the talk was related to the protocol which I wasn't even working with at the time. Kind of a pity it didn't work out because I think it'd have been an entertainingly awkward experience for everyone involved, and I wouldn't have minded the English practice.
