Any idea of processing time for Indian entry visa for former Indian and current US citizen?

Travisa website doesn't show clearly about the processing time.

Any idea? Is it days, weeks or months?

Looks like we can also apply for surrender certificate along with Indian entry visa application.
 
if u have already canceled ur indian passport (stamped-canceled) and secured the sc, the entry visa turn around time is a day.

for me it was like
day1: went to cgny in person, got my passport canceled, got sc (paid the fee), and collected every thing , dropped my ppt and application at travisa
day2: collected entry visa stamped passport from travisa
day3: flew to india.

if you have a copy of airline tickets itinerary (confirmed), it may help
 
I heard they won't cancel your passport and issue an SC without proof of immediate travel. Did they ask for it at the consulate?
 
not that they asked for it, but i did show it to them. i had print outs of the itinerary that i used for getting a the passport.

u dont need the actual one that ur travelling on. something from an online travel site would do .
 
Oh ok, so just a tentative itinerary? I guess I could also get a refundable ticket. Thanks for sharing.
i just called air emirates and reserved the dates, asked them to send the pnr and the details before i make the payment, they did and i said i'll call them back. i used that for getting sc and passport canceled at the earliest and for the emergency passport
 
Thanks to all for your replies.

What does the 'sc' mean? Is it 'stamped-cancelled'? What does that mean? Is it renunciation certificate?

I haven't started the process to get renunciation certificate.

I want to do that along with Indian entry visa. Looks like its possible as per the indiavisa.travisaoutsourcing.com website.

What does the 'sc' mean?
--------------renunciation certificate OR Surrender Certificate, They stamp the Indian passport canceled and give you SC or renunciation certificate
