D1: Do you not understand the meaning of ‘compelling reason’ ? What if someone’s parents are sick or going through feud back home or worse someone back in country really needs them to be there.

So cut down with the condescending tone and let people decide what is a compelling reason for them.

like

I'm just so appalled at D1s line of reasoning. This isn't political or Modi related at all. If you have a humanitarian or compelling reason to be home in India, you let your embassy know so they can help your travel where needed.

Life going to well for you? Forget this link and chill.

D1, this was such a simple post. Where are you taking it my friend?

Op: thank you so much for sharing it. I did not realize that govt has come up this option. I have a friend who is very concerned about family in India, and needs to go as early as possible. I hope this move would help him.

D1: I literally wrote in my reply, but here a really hard one: Your father died and your mom is all alone. Would you not want to be there atleast for the kriya, even if you miss the funeral?

And I apologize if it’s a hard pill to swallow, but point being don’t be condescending. Let people decide.

The SFO embassy helpline provided this link to me yesterday for my parents who are visiting me and want to return to India in June. We are still contemplating the option of extending their visa.
Has anyone filed for an extension recently and share their experience?

Thank you!

^What’s wrong with you? This is from the embassy site. Also there will be folks with compelling circumstances. Did you read that part?

OP, BCG1 - what are these compelling reasons? Can you give an example?

D1, How hard is it to comprehend a "compelling" reason that you need an example?

And proudly so... Don’t scare so easily, Modi Govt is playing political games in response to being arm-twisted over Hydrochloroquine. Not saying Trump was in the right on that, thinking of what’s motivating this open invitation.

PLEASE stay home till a vaccine comes out that addresses majority of CV-19 strains. Till then stay home, stay safe and save lives! 🙏🏽

“Modi government is playing political games” is the sum total of D1’s thought process.

M1, I have family in Mumbai and I’d hate it if Mathura Das’ with “problems” show up and spread CV-19 while the majority of the population is staying home.

D2, on visa status based argument, I’m not a lawyer. If your lawyer advises return, then by all means. But recognize that you’re returning to not exhaust your savings and that’s not what you should prioritize at a time like this!

D2, I’ve been through a similar situation in 2008. Conserve cash, put expenses on credit card and pay only minimum balance. You’ll stretch it out for 6+ months. Still not reason enough to put family and country men at risk. For what we do, a 20k to 40k credit card debt is nothing. Don’t put family at risk over money

Don’t be a Mathura Das...

Simple: Stay Home, Stay Safe, Save Lives! Don’t be like the desis in Dubai airport who rushed for their luggage during an emergency evacuation while the plane was burning!

To each his/her own: India currently has a different strain of CV-19 than what’s prevalent in the US. If you leave, please stay in India till a vaccine addressing all strains comes out 🙏🏽 Good luck!

No dude. You Save that dime, put your entire family here and there at-risk, fly ~15 hours in an enclosed box so even the healthy ones get exposed, sit in isolation and then do whatever the hell you want. If you’re stupid enough to leave the relative safety of Shelter-in-Place, order groceries online, then I say let Darwinism take its course!
