Visa on Arrival India to Americans but Browns Must Stand in Line at Chanakyapuri!

PIO to Merge in OCI

Modi’s announcement of plans to issue a “visa on arrival” for U.S. tourists and merge identification documents for non-resident Indians into a single category.

Under the new rules being considered, a person of Indian origin will get a lifelong visa for India, Modi said. The so-called PIO card will eventually be combined with the Overseas Citizen of India or OCI document, removing differences between the way groups of non-resident Indians were categorized and issued visas, he said.

Thus Modi has deriated from the international rule of reciprocity. Indians have to wait in line at the embassies for visas, specially when they go out for temporary work in IT industry. Relations of US resident must wait for years before uniting with the family. Similarly, permanent visas to NRIs will open the door to the tax dodgers and fugitives from law who take on multiple citizenship and resident ships to get past the law and evade the claims of local economy.

India Diaspora

Indian Americans, numbering about 2.8 million in the U.S., or almost 1 percent of its population, are one of the country’s fastest-growing ethnic groups, according to Census Bureau data. The median household income of Indian Americans is $88,000, compared with $66,000 for other Asians, the organizer IACF said in a statement.
