Thanks for bringing that to my attention, Achal. It looks like you indicated at the time of your registration that you needed a visa, and at that time some fields we now require were not on the registration form. It was simply asking you to fill in the missing information before continuing.
This wasn't an intentional design decision, and since anyone who needs a visa has either already applied or is probably too late, I've disabled that validation. As of right now, 83 people have confirmed their attendance, and as the e-mails continue this morning I expect many more. I appreciate you working around the problem, and I hope nobody was terribly inconvenienced by this.
