    No Slot Available at VFS Biometric Centres in India for Parents Visitor Visa.. Any Solution ?

    It is a sad scene. The corruption makes it difficult or almost impossible to get somethings done on your own. I tried to get an international driver's license on my own I was told that there was something wrong with my current license and I had to wait for it to be updated/corrected before I...

    No Slot Available at VFS Biometric Centres in India for Parents Visitor Visa.. Any Solution ?

    I think the VFS India appointment calendar has completely crashed. There is no slot available in any city for as far out as 2030 and even beyond that!. The calendar is empty. Nothing in it except public holidays. And people here are saying agents are booking appointments for them for a fee...

    Visitor Visa Application (using the new IRCC Portal) INDIA updates

    I just applied on Nov 23rd on the IRCC secure portal. Did not realize there was a new portal out there. No idea on what to do. Considering the situation, I will probably never hear from anyone again.

    New portal rules
