I'm starting to agree with the comments about Avant ... I really thought maybe they were fake profiles, but now I see Kasia is a finalist.
I actually have no agency experience, so I really don't know how these things work or how often this happens, but, I think it's extremely irresponsible for an agency to lie about their models eligibility in a competition etc, since I'm pretty sure all finalists have to sign a legal affidavit to say they're eligible—that means, if they aren't eligible, but sign that they are, then they are committing perjury.
Avant should be thinking in their girls' best interests, and surely risking a criminal record, should not be one of them
