We certainly considered the fact we may not be welcome. We would hope for a response of “sorry we wanted to allow visitor, however the situation has become etc etc” response versus just ignoring applications. It would be really easy to message all applicants we couldn’t be accepted versus leaving us at an airport gate denied boarding. Most folks who applied had already made significant investment, both monetary, and with friend and family, as well as local bvi businesses.

I would not be upset about denial, it just needs to be communicated.
