Entry Visa - Please need help

[fak005]

Friends I had applied for Indian Entry visa as well as paid $175 for renunciation certificate at Travisa outsource in Houston on May 21 and was told that I should be able to get my passport back in 3-5 days.

It has been 6 business days and haven't got my passport back. I had purchased my tickets for family and my flight is on June 4 to attend wedding in India. That means I only have 3 more days for them to process my renunciation and visa.


Can someone suggest what I can do in this situation as I am concerned I may not get my passports back before my travel date. I have called Travisa outsource and they said its up to consulate and they can't do anything and it passports can come back anyday. It is next to impossible to reach Indian consulate on phone. I am willing to go physically.

Please advice on what actions I should take.

Thanks

---- Travisa may not help as it Consulate that give Visa. one oof the person was in similar situation and applied Visa through Travisa NY and he went to Indian consulate NYC and give them copy of his Air ticket and they gave the Visa to him(They did not give Passport with Visa stamp to him They gave it to Travisa man at Consulate and he collected US passpoprt from Travisa man)

I agree -- go to consulate office in person -- take all the documents including prior/cancelled indian and us passports; if there is a problem in getting a surrender certificate - request them to give u one time entry visa covering the duration of ur stay only -- they may do it
