Fourth try, everyone passed. When I found out the visa was approved I was almost in tears~~~The officer understood Dota2...all his questions were about dota2, asking me my ID and when our team was made. Thank you for everyone's prayers, and everyone who helped out~~~except we haven't practiced for 10 days, gotta go back and practice~

Thank you! The officer asked for IDs wanting to add us to his friends list, I reluctantly agreed

Thank you everyone for your support. Truly, thank you!

All visas approved, thank you everyone for your support and help. Many thanks TT_TT

so tomorrow i will be leaving China for the first time since I've gotten here! thanks for everything I definitely have tons of good memories to keep in mind from you guys! CIS weibo: He's going to renew his chinese visa and will be flying out to Seattle on the sixth. June says for the next 3 days, CIS coach will take Black's spot during training as black is no longer in china. June 29th: Black announces he's going back to Germany.June says for the next 3 days, CIS coach will take Black's spot during training as black is no longer in china. (Source)

Where's Black?--- CIS has posted that they "will set up another date tomorrow or the day after"廉洁 on weibo (ACE manager?! not too sure) is asking for people to help CIS, as well as aid from valve and perfect world.

This time only ayo is through, everyone else isn't....everyone don't worry, apparently there's another chance in 2-3 days...being frustrated is useless, we paid attention to all the documents and pointers we were to pay attention to, and we also brought an intermediate agent...[translators failing me right now, i think that's what "中介" is...]if we really can't go then there's nothing we can do, I've come to accept it~~~but being denied 3 times is pretty horrible, add oil for next time!

The first time it was us 4 players, the manager, and the head of the team. Group interview. Our manager passed.

Second time it was the 5 of us - still group interview, we were all denied.

Third time it was still us 5 - individual interviews. Ayo passed, #13 passed him. 15 minutes later I was also called by #13. Denied. Third time, don't even talk about other documents - the officer didn't even look at our invitation.

If there was one thing different between me and ayo, it's that he brought his parents' company's business license

By the way, if you want to give them any advice, Black is back in Germany, so you can tweet @BlackDota2--Here's what June had to say:

Two group applications and none succeeded, the consulate officer took a glance at our TI4 invitation....s/he barely looked at it!! Our last attempt is probably on the 30th....next time it's individual applications, it's better than 5 going down all at once~~could we possibly be the first team in TI history to not make it because we can't get a visa? I'm so down, not in the mood to practice~~

----------------------Original Post:Title says it all, but here's the translation of the weibo post:

The 4 Chinese players as well as manager of CIS have been denied American visas, they're currently preparing for their second try.

Meanwhile, xiao8 confirms most veterans have gotten their visas, with only a few managers and coaches left. June replies, saying they've contacted Valve. This makes CIS the second team to have their visas denied, the first being Arrow Gaming, who are still trying to get theirs AFAIK.EDIT: Arrow gaming visas approved! ---Personally, I'm pretty upset. I'd LOVE to see CIS at TI4, hope they can get it on their second try.
