    Military record for visitor visa

    I guess I'll add to this thread as well. This process is very frustrating and disheartening. My parents submitted their Supervisa application in Aug 2022.

    Entry or Tourist visa for India?

    I asked BLS about this and they said application can only be withdrawn if it's still with them. If it's gone to the consulate then there is nothing you can do but wait. And if you are able to withdraw it they'll send the application and passport back to you using the return courier if you paid...

    I Oh...that seems like a tight timeline. I haven't been able to find an answer from anyone about the withdrawal process and how long it takes.

    Entry or Tourist visa for India?

    Thanks! I hope I don't have to submit another form. Given that E-visa is now open, the normal visa application should be expedited as per CGIs press release. Let's wait and see what happens. Fingers crossed. I just need my passport back before Jan 17.

    Entry or Tourist visa for India?

    I will update here once the status changes.

It just feels counter-intuitive but if I get too...
