@DrSJaishankar respected sir, @IndianEmbassyUS, I applied for Global Entry Program in USA and also finished paperwork on MEA website for police verification. After more than 6 months, that inquiry has not been finished and submitted to US CBP for them to approve my application.
Travelling by @SouthwestAir really sucks. My initial flight was delayed by 2.5 hrs and they put me on a different connecting flight. Lost my place in boarding and now boarding position is very late. They could have offered pre-board of priority boarding considering their fault.
@ShriThanedar More than EAD, some sort of relief to travel and come back without fear of being denied entry is important. I have been trying to get appt for my family visa stamping without luck and me traveling comes with a lot of headache.
