Has anyone recently paid the following fees out of Chennai?
1. L visa fraud prevention and detection fee of $500
2. PP 114-113 fee of $4500

Trying to understand the acceptable form of payment (US credit card/India debit card etc.)

Little surprised that Deloitte is asking me to pay these fees. Is this the norm?

Question on UK visa-
My partner will be traveling often to London, once a month for an year starting September. He is getting his visa through work (10 years, multiple entry, 6 months max stay, cost some $1000).

I have applied for standard tourist visa in the past and they are usually short term. It could be max 6 months, but they see your itinerary and allocate you few months around the itinerary

Is there a way to get 6 months multiple entry visa, if I were to join him once in a while.

Just rejoined the firm, how much travel are we doing these days?
