New Visa Services for Business Travelers from India to Britain

The British government announced steps to facilitate the issuance of visa. The steps include one where a visa applicant would be able to retain the passport while visa request is being processed. This would facilitate the passport holder to apply for visa to another country and same would reduce the time taken in getting two visas, the British High Commission said in a statement. Termed as "A passport passback pilot in Southern India", the improvements aim at attracting the best talent, business interests and investments to Britain.

"The UK government Wednesday announced further improvements to the visa system to attract the brightest and the best to work, do business and invest in Britain," said the statement. It said, "Our visa application centres will be able to provide business travellers with more premium services than ever before." The improvements will be introduced over a period of 12 months.

Here is what a soldier recently had to say upon receiving our most recent package:

Excerpt from August 2013 Letter from Lt. H. Benedict

-          Thank you for the Morale Booster! Our soldier's faces lit up as I started laying out all the goodies from your care package. As soon as I announced the box, some soldiers made a beeline for it to see what was up for grabs! Two of my younger soldiers (21 and 20) have immediately started tossing around the mini footballs...a few others went straight for the magazines...  I try to think of the small things that will keep them going and help them remain positive, but as I get to know a number of them, many join the Army to get away from a rough upbringing and a number of them will not receive mail or packages at all from loved ones throughout this deployment. Thank you for making a difference --- my soldier, Donovan, in particular will remember your kindness... P.S. That candy kept most of our staff alert and awake for one of our late night planning sessions! Perfect timing!
