My passport expires Oct 2015 and I am going to apply for an India tourist visa for the 1st time. From what I can tell by reading this thread, I should apply for the 10 year, not the 5 year. Once my passport expires, I don't need to have the visa transferred to my new passport as long as I carry both. Out of curiosity,what does having it transferred entail - visit to the visa office and collection of $$?

Does anyone have same-day issue experience at the office in San Francisco? Should the $13 consular fee be paid with a separate money order? Does paying with credit card really cause delay as it says on the website? TIA.
