In pursuit of a VISA
It took me eight months, $950, and 200 hours of work to obtain a VISA from Argentina to the United States. I missed three events in 2022, losing opportunities and affecting my mood and motivation. VISA processes are very different for each person, but there is a correlation between the difficulty level and your origin, strongly penalizing people from the global south.We must take into account these differences to design and change how we organize events, conferences, and team activities. It is essential to ensure participation.
