India Visa Round 1

Guaranteed there is a paper or process that has not been foreseen, that has not been mentioned in the instructions.  Nothing is as easy as it seems.  Especially if it seems easy.  

The Indian embassy outsources its visa services to a private firm that didn't mention in their instructions that for employment visas preapproval from the consulate is required.  That means a visit to the consular offices.  But before you go, an appointment is required.  Call this number.

Repeated calls for over two hours resulted in no answer.  The phone just rang and rang.  A call to the receptionist was not helpful.  To my surprise, an email was.  A reply came within an hour asking me to come in tomorrow morning.  

I'm terribly afraid some essential paper will be missing from the small sheaf already in my visa folder.
