Here is my situation and timeline:

October 15: Bought the great Emirates Deal $342 RT - LAX - DEL
October 17: Called CKGS - Asked about timeline for VISA application. Told that it would take 3 - 5 business days from when CKGS received my application and should be not problem.
October 20: Sent VISA application to CKGS in San Francisco
October 20: CKGS Received my FEDEX
October 26: CKGS website states they are processing application
October 30: I called CKGS. Representative states application was forwarded to consulate on October 29 and it would take 3 - 5 business days.
October 31: States on CKGS website that application was forwarded to consulate.

My travel date is November 19. I am nervous about receiving my VISA and passport in time. Any suggestions? I plan to call CVGS everyday starting on Monday to inquire. Is there anything that I can do at this point to be sure I have my VISA in time? I have even had thoughts about flying up to SFO.

Thank you.
