Re Indian visa

This item appears on page 12 of the May 2008 issue.

I have another bit of information to add regarding using a 10-year visa in India (June ’07, pg. 14 & Sept. ’07, pg. 89).

When my husband, Clyde, and I went through the Immigration lines in New Delhi, India, in November ’07, we each spoke to a Customs official. Both officers said the same thing: it is perfectly fine to travel to India with a valid 10-year visa in an expired U.S. passport along with a current valid U.S. passport.

This is what I had quoted from the website of the Consulate General of India in New York, but since this had been questioned and since I was curious, myself, I asked the men in charge.
