Hi All,
I am not sure if this recently changed, but i thought one of the checklist item listed here sometime back was if you answer YES to no "clearance received" annotation printed on the visa. Did it get removed?
I am going to India for vacation and would need re-stamping, and was evaluating if i can do interview waiver or drop box considering my previous visa application went into admin processing and "Clearance received" annotation printed on my visa that was issued after 2 months of visa interview.
