RE:Mumbai immigration deports kids!
by Vinayak Chitragar on Dec 20, 2006 12:07 PM  Permalink 

Such apathy shown by the immigration guys is disgusting! They were demonstrating their nuisance value rather than doing their duty.



Vijay, you can make use of RTI (Right to Information) Act to have the immigration officers divulge information on -

a) why the children were not granted temporary visas on arrival?

b) how many passengars of other nationalities were granted temporary visas on the same day?

irresponsible parent

I think the parent is irresponsible here. It is the duty of the parent to make sure he has his visa papers in order before travel.



If he was coming to the US instead of going to Inia, he would have ensured all his papers were in order.

SHAME SHAME

It is absolutely believeable as the immigration/custom/airport authorities also belong to the same corrupt goverment cadre.

These are same people who allow terrorist to board flights and get their more dreadlier counterparts released.

My feeling is the couple should have attempted to bribe the guys. I am absolutely certain they would have saved a lot of pain. They forgot that this is INDIA. If you can pay, then you can get away with anything.
JUST BRIBE and ENJOY LIFE, then be it traffic signal or immigration.

SHAME that we can not do much about it.

Sanjeev, do you think they did not try to bribe the officials? Only when the officials refused to tow their line, this Vijay or whoever must have started abusing the officials, and then only these guys must have thought of teaching this so called IT Techy guy a lesson. Kudos to officials for a change. Mera Bharat Mahan!

You take this country for granted???
by JMtang on Dec 20, 2006 12:02 PM  Permalink 

Dude,

Forgetting to carry the passports/visas is no excuse. You should have been more responsible. The point is you guys take this country for granted. Would you dare take such a chance with the US??? You deserved it thoroughly. I feel sorry for your kids though for having such irresponsible parents.

Please don't dramatise by bringing in racism here.

SHAME FOR IMMIGRATION DEPT., INDIA
by Ritesh on Dec 20, 2006 12:01 PM  Permalink 

This is total stupidity for immigration officials. They are kind of thieves.. always in search of finding petty small issues... that might help their promotion in the job. They are similar to custom official always looks to extract money from people.
Well they really need a crash course of Human behaviour and definitely they should be trained how to respect your country and coutryman.

How can you forget visas while traveling to another country?
by smn on Dec 20, 2006 12:01 PM  Permalink 

While the immigration officials should not have been so hardhanded about the 45 minutes time limit for getting the fax and the partiality shown to the French citizen, how can you forget the visas for both your kids when you have planned your travel so much ahead? You remembered to bring your GCs but not your kids' visas, considering that you know how Indian officials can behave?

The primary mistake is on you - you were so careless and got penalized harshly.
