1. I think they have a provision for older people .

2. Initially they issue a VISA for 6 months - if they are lucky they might get 10 year multiple entry. -But the VISA will still be for 6 months stay - the good thing is they don't have to go to the consulate in next 10 years.

However, four categories of people have been exempted from the new rule and will continue to enjoy the 'drop box facility'.

The first, those having a valid visa or one, which expired less than 12 months ago.

Third, children below 14 years of age and whose parents have US visas and are physically present in India.

Four, Central government officials.
