With less than a week to go before The International 4, China qualifier runner-up CIS Gaming has finally secured US visa for all the players. They were not able to have it for all the members until their fourth try.
CIS gaming's well-documented Visa application woes have finally come to an end, as the final three members without a visa were able to acquire it earlier today.
Through their social media Weibo, June stated that he was almost in tears after his and his two teammates' US Visa application was approved. Contrary to the first tries, the interviewing officer in charge this time around is familiar with Dota 2 and have actually asked them about the team.

June:
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~
Inflame:
Thank you! The officer asked for ID's wanting to add us to his friends list, I reluctantly agreed
Because of the visa troubles, the team severely lacked practice as June said. The team will compete on the Wildcard, which is set this 8 July.
This is CIS' fourth visa attempt. Their first attempt only had one of their members, Dominik 'Black^' Reitmeier, getting approved. One other member, Ayo, got his application approved during the third attempt.
