I wanted to share some important information for Indian-origin passport holders in Canada. The Indian Consulate has introduced a streamlined process for Emergency Entry Visas to help during critical situations.

🔹 Special Counters for Faster Processing: If you're facing an emergency, special counters at BLS Centres in Toronto and Brampton are there to expedite your visa application.

🔹 Handling Emergencies: In case of a recent family loss (parents, grandparents, or siblings), specific application hours and document requirements are outlined to support you.

🔹 Visa Issuance Options: You have the choice between same-day or next working day issuance, depending on your travel plans.

🔹 Serious Medical Emergencies: For hospitalization cases of immediate family members, a dedicated application process is in place via the SAMPARK portal.

🔹 Visa Validity: Emergency Visas are granted for a maximum of 90 days with a single entry, exclusively for genuine emergencies.

This initiative aims to ensure that you can swiftly and efficiently attend to urgent family matters in India during critical times.

Stay informed and take care!

Trying to expedite repatriation of remains of Hindu man buried in Saudi Arabia as Muslim: Centre | India News

NEW DELHI: The Centre on Wednesday told the Delhi High Court that it has met with senior Saudi officials here to expedite the exhumation and repatriation of the remains of a Hindu man, who was buried in Saudi Arabia as per Muslim rites. The submission was made before Justice Prathiba M Singh by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) which also told the court that no timeline has been given by the Saudi officials with regard to exhumation and repatriation of the remains of the Indian citizen and the government was trying to expedite the same. In view of the submission by MEA, the court listed the matter for hearing on April 5. The court was hearing a case in which the mortal remains of the Hindu man were wrongly buried in Saudi Arabia as per Muslim rites due to incorrect translation of his religion on the death certificate purportedly by Indian Consulate officials in Jeddah. The deceased's wife, who had been running from pillar to post to get the mortal remains, approached the high court seeking direction to the MEA to take steps to urgently exhume the remains and repatriate them to India in a time-bound manner. The court had on March 18 asked the MEA to coordinate with the Deputy Chief of Missions of Saudi Embassy here to facilitate the exhumation and repatriation of the remains. The high court had also requested the Deputy Chief of Mission to obtain some timeline within which the process of exhumation and repatriation of the body would be completed. The Director of Consulate Passport Visa, MEA had earlier told the court that there was no clarity on the timeline within which the body could be brought back to India and also assured the court that the matter was being followed up by them. The officer had also said that as per the existing protocol in Saudi Arabia, an Indian citizen's body cannot be disposed of without obtaining an NOC from the Indian Consulate. However, in this case, the procedure was not followed, he had said. Sanjeev Kumar died on January 24 in Saudi Arabia, where he was working, due to cardiac arrest and his mortal remains were kept at a hospital there. Petitioner Anju Sharma, represented by advocate Subhash Chandran K R, has said in her plea that on getting the news of her husband's death, the family requested the authorities to repatriate the mortal remains. "Shockingly, on February 18, the petitioner was informed that the body of her husband has been buried in Saudi Arabia while the family members of the deceased were waiting for the mortal remains in India. "The officials in Indian Consulate explained that it was due to a mistake committed by the official translator of the Indian Consulate, Jeddah, who wrongly mentioned his religion as 'Muslim' in the death certificate. They also shared a letter of an apology tendered by the official translating agency of Indian Consulate in Jeddah with the petitioner herein," said the petition, filed through advocate Yogamaya M G. It also said that neither the woman, nor any of the family members gave consent to bury Kumar's body in Saudi Arabia. Thereafter, the woman requested the officials of Indian Consulate in Jeddah to ask the local authorities there to exhume the mortal remains of her husband so that they can be transported to India for performing last rites as per the faith of the family. "Unfortunately, even after seven weeks of the death of the husband of petitioner, the authorities have failed to do necessary formalities to repatriate the mortal remains of Sanjeev Kumar to India for performing last rites," the plea has said. It also sought direction to the Centre to take appropriate departmental actions against officials concerned of the Indian Consulate at Jeddah for their willful negligence and also direct the authorities to obtain a corrected death certificate of the deceased and supply the document to his wife.

Mika Singh Arrested in Dubai Under the Charges of Sexual Harassment!

Mika Singh is a renowned singer of Bollywood who was in Dubai to perform at an awards ceremony; however the news of him being arrested started to flow in the markets. It was heard, that he has been arrested on account of sexual harassment. Mika Singh has been arrested on the grounds of sexual harassment when a Brazilian teenage girl complained against him for sending her obscene messages over Whatsapp followed by a message of promise made to make her get job in Bollywood. I confirm that Singer Mika singh is arrested in Abu Dhabi and he is in the lockup in Abu Dhabi only, not Dubai. — KRK (@kamaalrkhan) December 6, 2018 Reportedly, the girl lodged a complaint against him and the singer was arrested and taken to Abu Dhabi police station and is jailed. The police took him from a bar at Dubai at night around 3 A.M. The Indian consulate in Dubai seems to be showing no response over this news and stated that there is no contact from the Dubai Police as yet and therefore they believe that he is in Dubai. However, Mika Singh has been posting his pictures with Akon on Instagram and is also all set to perform at the awards ceremony as depicted from his social media responses. What goes in reality is something nobody is yet sure about! Member of Singer Mika Singh's team: Singer Mika Singh has been detained in United Arab Emirates (UAE) after a girl complained against him for alleged harassment. Questioning underway. pic.twitter.com/agdb4ASywR — ANI (@ANI) December 6, 2018 Read the full article

Passport and Visa for Baby's first trip to India in California

OMG it is such a nightmare that I had to write about it!! The process for getting a passport and getting a visa to enter India for a baby is a long and slow process, which requires a ton of patience.

I found that its not easy to find a clear list of requirements and steps you need to go through, so hopefully this helps:

Passport:

- Go to the post office and ask if they do passports. If so, make an appointment.

- Grab the "New Passport" form at the post office (not the renewal form).

Things to bring to the passport appointment:

- Filled out "New Passport" form

- Mother & Father (if you cannot have both parents present, you need to request another form (consent form) from the Post Office, get it signed by the absent parent and notarized.

- Baby (ready for cute passport photo)

- ORIGINAL birth certificate

- Credit card/cash/check

That is all you will need to apply for the passport.  They will take the baby's passport photo and have you take an oath, and then you have the option to pay extra for expedited if you'd like.

I did expedited and it took about 2 weeks to get to me...so onto the next battle - getting a visa for India.  The Indian Consulate has outsourced processing of applications to a really incompetent firm called BLS.  Here is their awful website: http://www.visa.blsindia-usa.com/index.php - you need to click on the type of visa you want to apply for (in my case it was tourist), and then fill in the fields for which office and passport you have and then it returns another pretty confusing page of information.

Bottom line is that you need the following items sent:

- Filled out online application, printed, with baby's picture, BOTH parents signatures on BOTH pages, NOTARIZED

- Baby's passport

- Copies of parents' passports (main info page with pictures)

- Proof of address - this can be  your DL, or if you have a utility bill that will work.

- Original birth certificate for baby

- "Order Form" this gets emailed to you after you have filled out the application

- Shipping label - this also gets emailed to you after you have filled out the application - this needs to be taped to the OUTSIDE of the envelope you send it in.

- Money order or Cashier's check - mine was for 157.70

- Return envelope with pre-paid shipping

So you mail all of that in and to see the status, you use your Order form number to look it up. Mine said processing within 48 hours for about 2 weeks till I finally called and had a frustrating conversation with someone who could not find the application record in the system at all, and finally the line disconnected, so I called back and the person COULD find it, but said I was missing some stuff (I had sent in the app without the father's signature), so they gave me a guy's email address to scan my husband's signature and send to which I did.  Since then, the status has still remained as processing within 48 hrs.  

I will post again when I finally get through this process!!
