The Iroquois Nationals Lacrosse team was scheduled to depart Sunday July 11 to
compete in the 2010 World Lacrosse Championships in England, but have
been
thwarted by delays from the U.S. State Department and the Department of
Homeland Security to approve clearance for departure and return through
U.S.
Immigration for processing visas by the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and
Northern Ireland.
The 23
members of
the team were notified by the British Consulate late July 9th
that
their travel visas were delayed awaiting assurance from the U.S. State
Department that they will be allowed to leave the country and be allowed
back
into the United States following their 14-day competition in Manchester,
England to compete in the “equivalent of the Olympics” for
lacrosse.
