[QUOTE="bombayIllini, post: 1473941, member: 10663"] OT: I just plugged in "The Dominican Republic" and "Jamaica" into the [URL='https://www.ivisa.com/italy-schengen-visa']Italian Visa Calculator[/URL] and for both those nations it said (Italy does issue iVisa, I think it is an electronic one that you produce when you board a plane and at point of entry - but that does not apply to these two nations): So, clearly, they could not resolve it without visiting a Consulate, which could take days to respond. Which brings me to the topic ay hand. This is a DIA problem and more specifically their travel agent who booked the tickets. Have no idea how he could have booked the Maimi-Milan leg without a proper visa!!!!!!!! There have been protocols for [B][U]decades[/U][/B] on such matters. Universities have no direct contact with Consulates or Embassies. Not done that a way. At best they can talk to their US Senators/Congresspeople, who through the diplomatic channels MAY be able to do something. But then there is that little "political capital" that the politician has to consider vs. what his constituent requested. [/QUOTE]
