India Visa for Chinese citizen living abroad

There is not much information and share of experience for Chinese citizen or any other country's citizens with Chinese origins to get a visa from India embassy. So I decided to open one and share my experience.

I hope other Chinese can post their experience here too.

I live in the States. I have green card but still holds a Chinese passport. India embassy in Houston received my application (tourist visa) on 6/1/2012, and today is 7/25/2012, 7.5 weeks, still no visa yet.

I believe I googled and found on this forum some Chinese citizen living in UK had applied, and he got his after 7.5 weeks... Now it is 7.5 weeks for me, still no luck...

Let's see how long it will take... half a year. a year?

My husband is also a Chinese but he was not born in China. It took one day for him to receive the visa...

the visa to india has been outsourced to trivisa,
you can visit their site, I understand they are the
middleman of India visa, your papers must have gone thru
them.

Yes, I did submit through them. They are just the middle man, and they cannot really do anything...

Get in touch with indian consulate- houston, see what they have to say . They treat Chinese passport with very close attention.

did you get your visa?

I cannot believe this. I got an email from the visa office that my visa is not issued and they are sending back my passport.

Any reason given ? Well, that is how the treatment of Chinese in India has been a reality, I do not want to put fuel in the fire.
Even oversea chinese born in India has a certain cut off date to gain Indian citizen, to make a long story, person born in China settled in India for 40+ years still regarded as Stateless. This is how the state of affairs are.

A lot of quiet tension exists which gets aggravated by Chinese maps tha claim NE India, etc..

Unfortunately, this is true. Chinese-Indians could graduate from IITs, IIMs, yet could not leave the country for lack of passports and/or inordinate delays; in the 70s. It is the state of a paranoia that exists in the defense polity that drives some of these innane directives.

oh, god!!!!that means rejected the visa?

yes, that is what they will do.

Even odds (O.K 3:2) that it will eventually get approved when you are lease likely to need that visa
