[governance] visas for india?

[Max Senges]

Hi everybody

so the americans have *of course* outsourced visa processing to a private
company. Their San Francisco office tells me that with the conference
registration confirmation i can get the visa (it works like a invitation
letter), but they have never heard of a free visa. I sent them the link to
the website where it states that it should be free.

Anybody else successful in San Francisco?
