Dear friends, First and foremost, I would like to thank you for all the letters of support for Modesto's visa. Unfortunately, as of today, Friday March 26th, the US Embassy in Caracas has not approved or denied his request. Due to the fact that his first engagement is on Monday March 29th, this delay is forcing the cancellation of at least his first round of talks. Modesto is writing an apology letter to all of you, in which he will explain the situation. We are aware of the great effort from your part to put these events together, and I personally have no words to express how disappointed I am for this situation. I want to make clear that his request was sent on time, with the proper documentation. He will go the Embassy on Monday to procure his documents, and It may be the case that the visa will be granted that day. If so, the earliest day of his arrival will be on Tuesday March 30th. In consequence, he would be able to fulfill his engagements from Wednesday 31th onward. If the visa allows him to stay a few more days, he is willing to stay the following week, in case some canceled events can be rescheduled. This is the best scenario, however, we will not know for certain until Monday evening. I extend my apologies once again, and, if it be necessary, I am available to be present at the time scheduled for the events, in order to explain the causes for the cancellations. I thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
