Together We Can…
they will find one way or the other to harass Indians living abroad, they can’t see Indians living peaceful happy lives abroad, they require things from you that don’t make any sense, when some one hold US passport, why you need see all the other documents such as your Indian passport when you landed in the US the first time, i.e the stamp on your old indian passport when they came here or your green card? all we need is visa to India on our US PASSPORT, and they want to see how and when you came to the U.S …its just too funny. is there any petition of some sort against all this harassment any where online?? thanks
