I agree that the visa issue need to be considered when choosing the
venue.

But if we start pushing the visa horizon much beyond 3 moths we will
run into other problems, like 6 months before the March meeting I will
not know if I've my contract renewed.

I would say that 3 months is n unreasonably long time to wait for a
visa. If we are not sure that everyone can have a response on a visa
application in three months, simply look for another venue.
