PIO SFO Urgent
Folks

i had submitted for PIO for my son on 10/13 that was finally sent to SFO consulate on 10/28. So far no update and we need to travel to India on Dec 2.

A. I have emailed CKGS several times and havent received any updates or follow ups. on the forum i have seen several folks mention they called and spoke to someone and got email responses back. Can you pls share the numbers you are calling (the numbers i call i am on hold for 90 mins or longer and then gets disconnected) or email IDs you are receiving responses from

B. How long does it take for walk in PIOs? is the time faster? like same day or next day? if so, can i withdraw my current application and re-submit for walk in?

C. if PIO is not an option, do anyone of you know about the visa on arrival option that was announced by PM Modi for US citizens of indian origin ? has anyone availed of that option?

Thank you for any help. We live outside of California and your guidance will help us decide on flight plans to the consulate and beyond to India

Thanks
Vento
