Hello Jeevan,

Sorry for the late reply.

Given that we are now less than three weeks away, I am concerned that the timeline for processing a visa might be very tight.

To ensure your participation without the stress of a last-minute application, I would suggest considering remote participation instead. We want to make sure your contribution is included, and you can find the detailed video recording procedures here:
https://ivorysql.io/2026/04/02/video-recording-procedure-2/

That being said, if you would still like to proceed with a visa application, we are more than happy to provide you with an official invitation letter. To prepare this, please send over the following details:
  • A copy of your passport photo page
  • Contact phone number
  • Residential address
  • Email address

Please let me know how you would like to proceed and provide the above information if you decide to apply.

Best regards,
Grant
