[Hotstorage-chairs] Seeking Guidance on Presenting Our HotStorage’26 Paper

[Amir Najafi Zadeh]

Dear HotStorage Program Chairs,

I hope this email finds you well. I’m writing to seek your advice and help
regarding the presentation of our paper at this year’s HotStorage
conference. Due to the ongoing U.S. visa and immigration issues, many
international students, including myself, are currently at a high risk of
being unable to re-enter the country if they travel abroad. As a result,
our university’s visa and immigration services strongly recommend that we
avoid international travel until the situation is resolved.

Given these circumstances, I wanted to ask what options might be available
for presenting our paper. We are currently looking into whether one of the
other authors may be able to attend the conference and present the work in
person, but I would also greatly appreciate your guidance on how we should
proceed given my situation.

As I’ve seen at other conferences in the U.S. and elsewhere, there is a
growing number of speakers who are unable to travel due to visa-related
issues. I imagine HotStorage may also be encountering similar situations
this year, and I would greatly appreciate any advice or accommodations you
may be able to offer.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration. I look forward to
hearing from you.

Best regards,
Amir
