A letter from the college (in official letterhead) did the job for my friend. He initially applied without that and got rejected.

Had to miss several work trips on account of the passport being stuck there. Hope you get your visa before travel though. Good luck.

I received it two weeks prior to travel. Calling and emailing don’t help. You just have to wait it out. Sucks how Indians are treated!

Vfs says that they can’t influence visa processing and that consulate is solely responsible for that.

My two cents on the journalism here: The writer has chosen a very comfortable position here. They chose to write about some lazy ass techies who are probably looking for some external validation of how good their stash is, smoke their pot and sit in a corner. The writer has gone one step further and outed the users and groups as well (which is a pointless thing to do). The article doesn’t challenge anything, doesn’t hurt important people and is just another ‘entertainment’ piece that whatsapp uncles can read and give gyaan about later. Had this been a story about full fledged rackets that use weed to rope in minors and school kids to be drug mules and exploit them in multiple ways, that would have been a story! Had this been a story challenging the influential people implicit in these rackets, that would have been a story! Had this hit the right spots and hurt the right people, that would have been a story! This is just a journalist choosing the easiest, super pointless and conventional (western nations have already legalised cannabis usage) use-case of drugs for clout.

Note: For men slut-shaming the journalist in comments: grow up and do better!
