I am travelling to India next week with my h1 visa expired on passport. Passport is expiring on Feb 26,2008 after 10 years of issue date
I will be in India for a month and in process to take an appointment for visa stamping at Bombay ..
On VFS site, I came to know that it is recommended that passport should be valid for the next 6 months to enter USA. Has anybody done this in the past where they got visa stamped while passport expiring in next 3 months?
Did they face any issues at port of entry or while stamping at consulate abroad?
I just want to know the implications...I don't care if I can come back safely ..My idea is to apply for renewal of passport after reaching here..Will there be any issue?
Any experience is welcome..
I am not in a situation to go to Indian consulate for tatkal issue of passport right now or the time frame which is left before starting for India. In India I will be in Bhopal for 3 weeks and there is a regional passport office..will they be able to issue a new passport /extend current one...? the first place of issue was Chennai in 1998 with Chennai address on the passport. Will they be able to issue a new passport in Bhopal? If yes, will they ask any proofs? I am in USA for tha last 7 years on H1 Visa...
The websites appear to say yes but with lot of information not close to common sense...
If this issue is already covered in some other thread, please let me know the link...
Thanks
