RE: Have You Immigrated To Another Country?

in #life6 years ago

Yes I did :) it'll be one year this may since I moved from New York to India. I found my love here and though India is a lot different than the u.s. I'm used to the crowds from living in New York. So all in all I'm happy and have someone here to keep me optimistic.

Cool, i did same from Belgium 15 years ago, still in India. You don't struggle with visa? i hear US gets 10 year visa but max 90 days stay.

For us it's 180 days on tourist visa, but before it expired I got married to an Indian national and converted my tourist visa to an X visa or entry visa and registered. So now my entry visa expires next year and I'll renew until I can file for my OCI card in a year and a half :) where in India are you

Marrying, best solution :-) I have 2 children born in India, they get a beautiful extendible student visa while i am getting nothing more than a 3 month tourist visa, Indian embassy in Belgium (vfs) is absolutely not helping me. We lived in Kodaikanal, Tamil Nadu for 10 years, now my daughter is 15 and bored of sitting on a mountaintop, we moved to Aldona, Goa.
I really have one more question. Did you convert this tourist visa to X visa inside India?

Yeah they changed it now so you can do it from either inside or outside the country. A month or so before it was expired I just went and brought proper paperwork and they changed it. Have you talked to frro here and see if they can help you?
