Most AIs have some sort of personal connection to the group with which they are seeking membership. They were briefly pledged to the group in college, have numerous relatives in that sorority, have a personal and ongoing relationship with the philanthropy of that sorority, etc. they are not shopping for the best deal.

You have been in contact with a group in your area that has offered to sponsor you. You would be able to participate in their activities, since they are near by. It sounds as if it would work. What is the hold up?
