Salaam! Any Pakistan-born US passport holders who have traveled to India for work? I'm trying to get a business visa for a work trip, but I was told I need to formally "renounce" my Pakistani citizenship (have a NICOP and expired PK passport)...trying to figure out if there are other ways to secure it

In the exact same situation

I am US born and I ran into this. I was denied visa into India. One of my co workers said he gave up all ties to Pakistan and he got a visa, but had to check into the police station every morning and evening. My cousin is married to an Indian, and was still denied because the Indian embassy didn’t feel “comfortable” - whatever that means.

Them being comfortable doesn't matter. You gotta force otherwise they'll keep playing games.

Why haven’t you renounced your pak citizenship?

Sorry not trying to be flippant

But with a US passport you cannot keep a Pakistani passport you have to renounce it

And you can get the Pakistani green card equivalent to go travel tk oakistan all the the time

I have the same with my Indian green card

Why bother? India has become so rabid against Muslims that it’s unlikely you’ll have a good experience there.

Seems like she's needed there for a work related project. I've had colleagues travel there, but it's pretty much impossible to go there if you have any Pakistani connection.

Maybe OP can show some form of engagement letter to the Indian officials to have entrance. The whole India vs Pakistan thing is ridiculous will remain for for many years to come.
