@USAndMumbai Interview letters for Immigrant Visas have been issued with 2 weeks notice. biometrics appointments are not available. Biometrics centers R not helpful. How can one attend interview without biometrics. Please do something urgently. @gsiskind @curtisatlaw @USAndIndia

[Vinay Kulkarni @kvinaytwits]

@USAndMumbai in July how many IR5 fresh visa issued via NVC? How many scheduled in August via NVC? What is current IR5 backlog for India at NVC? Any plans to expedite IR5 backlog cases in the coming months?

[Vinay Kulkarni @kvinaytwits]

@USAndMumbai could online video interviews(with all the necessary precautions) be an option to clear off large and continuously increasing backlog of immigrant visa applications across various categories, maybe at least for simple cases?

[Vinay Kulkarni @kvinaytwits]

@SidShirole excellent leadership Sir in these times of crisis. Very inspiring. Fortunate to have your leadership. Wish you a great and fulfilling future 🙏👍

[Siddharth Shirole @SidShirole]

There are thousands of our brothers & sisters still stranded in foreign land, who have unfortunately run out of funds & have emergencies including medical, unemployment and health issues. My team & I are working round the clock and are hopeful that we will have solution soon.

[Vinay Kulkarni @kvinaytwits]

@SidShirole Siddharth ji, we are extremely thankful to you and your team in helping bring our daughters back from the US. These were testing times for our family and the support and empathy we received from you has touched our hearts. 🙏🙏

[Siddharth Shirole @SidShirole]

I would like to wholeheartedly thank Hon.Union MEA Sh @DrSJaishankar ji, Hon.Min Civil Aviation Sh @HardeepSPuri ji, Hon. MOS MEA Sh @VMBJP & their offices for being responsive & proactively helping citizens who had approached me for repatriation to India #VandeBharatMission

[Vinay Kulkarni @kvinaytwits]

@AUThackeray @CMOMaharashtra @OfficeofUT @Dev_Fadnavis @SidShirole with largest stranded population in the US, can you confirm from your data shared how many flights and passengers have come from US to Mumbai? And are you satisfied with this effort?

[Aaditya Thackeray @AUThackeray]

@HardeepSPuri
Please tell me the logic of not resuming international flights, but allowing free movement within India to buy alcohol?
We have signed waivers to be quarantined (paying for it ourselves!) And have been home quarantined in USA for 3 months!!!!
Why are we the risk?

[Vinay Kulkarni @kvinaytwits]

⁦@MEAIndia⁩ ⁦@HardeepSPuri⁩ ⁦@airindiain⁩ ⁦@PMOIndia⁩ ⁦@DrSJaishankar⁩ ⁦@SidShirole⁩ how come only 28 people on this #VBM flight from Washington DC to Delhi when thousands are stranded in the US and desperately waiting for their turn to board?

[Vinay Kulkarni @kvinaytwits]

@KasarPatil96 @SidShirole @CMOMaharashtra @Dev_Fadnavis @BJP4India @BJP4Maharashtra I absolutely agree. The kind of positive experience and responsiveness we have received is remarkable and hugely appreciated. Wish you all the very best sir. This society needs leaders like you.

[Vinay Kulkarni @kvinaytwits]

@SidShirole @MEAIndia @VMBJP Yes Siddharth ji that is correct. And we are extremely grateful to you and your team. We are hoping that no flights to Mumbai/Maharashtra is not an issue & kids can come via Delhi. However when kids contracted DC embassy they were told travel to Pune via Delhi won’t be possible.

[Vinay Kulkarni @kvinaytwits]

@SidShirole thank you sir for voicing our concerns. Greatly appreciated. My two daughters are stranded in Washington DC for 3 months now and no one is caring to listen to their repeated pleads.

[Siddharth Shirole @SidShirole]

An appeal to Hon. CM Uddhav Thackeray ji on behalf of citizens of Maharashtra stranded in UAE & other countries.
It is agonizing to not being able to come to their aid…but what is more distressing is the lack of response & communication from GoM.
@CMOMaharashtra.
@Dev_Fadnavis

[Vinay Kulkarni @kvinaytwits]

@SidShirole please help Pune students stranded in the US to return home to their parents. PLEASE PLEASE 🙏

[Siddharth Shirole @SidShirole]

Been receiving numerous messages, requesting help with getting the 1000+ citizens of Maharashtra stranded in the UAE back home.
I know it’s a long arduous wait to return, but I assure you that 1st thing tomorrow I will follow up with @CMOMaharashtra & hopefully get you an update

[Vinay Kulkarni @kvinaytwits]

During this #VBM period, only 22 direct flights from US to India, of which 18 to Delhi and 4 to Mumbai and only 7Jun flight of a future date for Mumbai. How will the load of people wanting to return get managed???
