Passport on hold

Hello,

I am an Indian citizen.

I had gone to USA in 2000 with H1B Visa which was valid till 2001.

While in USA, I got my visa extended up to 2004 but I did not apply for getting my passport stamped about the extended visa.

I returned to India in 2003. My passport had not expired then.

My passport expired in 2011 and now I applied for renewal of my passport. During the renewal procedure, the passport officer asked me to produce my visa extension proof. I was not carrying it with me so I was not able to provide it. Now they have kept my passport on hold for renewal.

 

Now what should I do?

Thank you

Under Passport Act, your Passport  has to renewed there is no condition present for extension of visa. You present representation to the passport officer, wait for one month and file writ petition in the High Court. contact: GLOBAL LEGAL SERVICES ;  globallegalservicesindia@gmail.com cell no: 9290673693
