I have just saw all this (I was in VAC) there is still something that I can
do? I do not understand whether Anto was able to send all the stuff or not.
For what I have understood we need:
- improve letter following enrico's guide.
- fax it to the spanish chamber of commerce together a copy of passport from
who is inviting, phone them and tell them it is about andrew's visa.
- i guess also send a copy to andrew
If somebody takes care of writing the stuff, I could try to get a way to fax it
tomorrow and invite Andrew myself.
I am not sure about how to handle the "accomodation" stuff, tho.
