[governance] visas for india?

[William Drake]

Hi,

I went today and was told all is in order and I can pick up  
tomorrow.  The interventions from Markus, Shanker/MAG, and folks here  
seem to have made a difference. However, I was still asked to bring  
an invite letter from the government, which I had, but shouldn't have  
needed.  I hope more consulates will read the fax correctly, that  
registration alone is sufficient.
