india visa application help please b4 I pull my hair out
 

I was able to complete the India government visa application form and received an applicant name and id ( 12 number plus alphabet id starting with "USA")....

I was able to find the "reprint form" and printed my visa application. The Indian government states that my application is under process.

When do I pay CKGS in San Francisco? Do I wait for an email from the Indian government that my application is approved first b4 I pay?

When do I submit my visa application with my photo to CKGS?

Thanks

what type of visa & duration are you applying for????

I suggest you spell out all words and don't use abbreviations like "B4" on your application.

Hi there!
Never apply first at the Indian Embassy page. Rather apply first at CKGS page where then you will get a code to log on and proceed at the Indian Embassy page.
When done so, you will be redirected back to CKGS afterwards.
