If you read my China visa posting, this should come as no surprise.
I finally got my Chinese visa (an all day affair).
Next came the India visa.
India has outsourced their Visa application procesing to a company called Travisa Outsourcing.
I applied online at Travisa's Website for same day processing.
They gave me a date and appointment time to be in their office.
After waiting in line at the appointed time, a security/application processing officer announces that if it was anyone's concern, same day visa service was actually taking 2-3 days!
No exceptions.
I had to return to Saipan without an India visa.
So much for outsourcing.
I'm sure the India embassy has no knowledge of travisa's poor service; that is, Travisa Outsourcing getting people to their office with the promise of same day processing - then surprising the applicant with, already known to Travisa, bad news that they could not process same day visas.
