From a Bangalore stationery shop to a late lodgement
- Week 1Printed in a Marathahalli shop.
Naveen's FD-258 is inked within minutes, and he couriers it to the U.S. himself.
- Week 6Sent back from the FBI.
Four impressions are too faint to classify, and no one checked them in Bangalore.
- Week 10Reprinted and re-couriered.
A second shop in Koramangala, a second card, and one more month in transit.
- Week 15An apostille he did not need.
An agent adds one anyway, though Home Affairs would have accepted the result as issued.
- Week 18Lodged with days to spare.
Two shops, three couriers, one unnecessary apostille, and a SkillSelect invitation that was nearly lost.
Printed once at his Bangalore home, filed early
- Day 1Prints taken in Bellandur.
Our associate visits his flat off Sarjapur Road. ID verified, impressions reviewed and Letter of Identity Verification issued.
- Week 1At our Washington, DC office.

- Week 3Status between stand-ups.
Naveen follows the submission in Globeia SmartPortal from his office on the Outer Ring Road.
- Week 5Result checked, sent as issued.
Issued in English and suitable for Home Affairs, so no apostille is ordered.
- Week 6Visa lodged early.
