USA Ten-year Visa; is the 180 day limit still in effect? by Dennis Tedder
I am getting a variety of answers and nothing i can find current on the Web. After the attack a few years ago in Mumbai, there was a maximum limit of days (180) that one could stay. Does anyone know if this requirement been lifted?

I would have a tough time recommending bringing an American 11 year old to India. They are really going to struggle with the rigid discipline and insular society. The boys and girls are strictly separated as well so they may find it ... Read More

Which would be good duty free store at Chennai Airport? I will be looking for Alcohol and Perfumes.
Better to buy overseas at a regular store and pack it in your checked bag. Bubble wrap with a cardboard cover works great for this. The local spirits are pretty good but the wine selection is horrible. We started bringing spirits but quickly ... Read More

Pondy is a very nice little vacation resort town. International maybe, cosmopolitan it's not. Probably not too much ex-pat work but some. Maybe shipping or something like. Popular with European retirees and tourists. It has a very nice French ... Read More
