But the law is the law. When you do the same in the western Country they won't allow you to enter their country.
When it happened in USA or in Western Country we won't cry and digest as it is the law.
But as a humanitarian ground, the immigration official
should hear their concerns.
But as a Educated and being working in USA for 9 years, you should know what is expected while travelling to any country .
The fact is that We are Indians and we will take it easy since it is India and Indian official, we can bribe and anything can be done (sap salthakey attitude)
Kudos to Immigration Official. But they should approach it in humanitarian grounds
If the immigration official favored becase of skin, they should be punished
Why this question about brown or firang. That frenchman might have had a return ticket or a ticket for onward journey within 3 days. Had this guy (father) tried to find out about that? Does anyone give a visa (evem two day transit visa) without the proper documentation?Whyis he blaming the Indian officials for what is clearly his fault and even if we do give enough leeway to the fact that he genuinely forgot to get the visas, it is the fault of the french officials who should have ensured that the people WITHOUT INDIAN PASSPORTS (kids) have the correct visa papers to get into the country. Don't blame the Indian official. Let me see him try that with any other country. Ofcourse he will be sent back if there is no provision for visa-on-arrival... which India should have by the way...
airport authorities behaved inhumanly, these guys should have given at least 3-4 hours to get the docs. I am shocked at their behaviour.
This is a matter of great concerns to all the immigrants of indian origin ; it may happen to any one of us.
officials please stop behaving like stone age !!! this is 21st century, have your records updated, knowing that these things are still happening, Indian Govt. must device a policy and document it..
It is of no surprise to me either. Can you go to USA and tell the immigration cops you forgot to bring your visa with you? Not that you would unless if you want to see cuba. I agree it was a great pain to travel back, but should be proud that India is improving and getting to know the law and actually enforcing it!
Before travel get to know what you have to carry it with you and avoid the avoidable.
Sad to hear that you and your kids went thru so much pain. Let me ask you this, How prepare you will be if your kids are Indian citizens visiting USA? We can understand your frustration but it is all your fault for being such a careless parents.Shame on you.
I don't think now Vijay will ever think of coming back to India even for vacation.
I am not saying we should go beyound rules, but if parents are citizens, some flexibility may be offered on uman basis like giving the time parents are asking to produce papers.
I am sure there were other methods if officers were willing to help.
Inhuman Behaviour by the Government officials are very common in India. These Government officials think that they own India but the fact is that make their leaving by the tax we pay..Shame on those guys.
You guys would have resolved this if you have put a proposal of gifting 500USD (decent way of describing bribe)to the ACP.....These are very common and I have done these things several times including getting a drivers license without even being in India....
There is no racism here. A transit visa is valid for three days. Once granted it cannot be changed. The Frenchman was likely staying for 3 days or less. In the case of the family they were on a 4-week holiday and hence the transit visa could not be granted. Before we yell racism we should check the facts.
