Looks like the Indian process takes a whole lot of time so I can plan to come back to US just a few days after the police verification.
I am just wondering if the steps at the PSK will be smooth and fast enough given the ineffective bureaucracy.
Apply in mid-late December.
Once you submit the CBP application on the GOES system, you will get a link from the Indian passport authority to fill a form.
That form has to be filled, and after submission, an appointment has to be scheduled at your local passport office
