BLS adios, ciao, goodbye!
 

My friend just called to to say that BLS is gone as of 5/20/14.

I don't know how is taking over however.

I'm hoping they will go back to Travisa. We have 10 year visas and I need to have my transferred into my new passport. But there was no way I was going to send my passports to BLS!

They do not say who will be processing the apps. Maybe soon. I suppose calling travisa would not hurt.

We don't have an India trip planned right now, so no hurry for me. I was hoping BLS would be out of the loop before I needed the visa transferred.

I just glad they are gone. I think they were in business for just under 1 yr.

From the Indian embassy's website (Washington):

"NOTE: WITH EFFECT FROM MAY 21, 2014 THE VISA/OCI/PIO/RENUNCIATION OF INDIAN CITIZENSHIP APPLICATION COLLECTION/PROCESSING AND DELIVERY PROCESS HAS BEEN OUTSOURCED TO COX & KINGS GLOBAL SERVICES PVT. LTD."

Cox and Kings... anyone have any experience with them? I only know them from their brochures for guided tours.
