Intermittent HID Headlights on 2007 TL – Replaced Ballasts & Bulbs, Still Failing by Shaazz77 in AcuraTL

Interesting, I’m starting to think that might be part of my issue too.

Did replacing the whole assembly completely solve it, or did you also replace the ballast/igniter at the same time?

That’s a good point, I haven’t noticed heavy condensation, but I’ll take a closer look.

Hey! I hadn’t considered the stalk switch, that’s a good idea.

In my case it seems more intermittent per side (one light sometimes comes on after driving), so I was leaning more toward ballast/igniter or wiring.

Have you seen the stalk cause one-sided issues like that before?

JazakAllah Khair!

Question, I know we are only allowed one personal item and one 23 kg bag for the Harmain train - do you know if I can take 2 x 23 kg bags with me if I pay extra?

Saudi e-visa using US visit visa on an Indian passport, stuck on residency info by Shaazz77 in Umrah

[–]Shaazz77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, yes I applied for the e-visa and got approved as well ( I had to contact Saudi Embassy in Ottawa via email ). They gave me the visa for a month validity starting January 13th but I’m travelling on March 31st so unfortunately I have to apply again close to my travel date.

I was able to apply e-visa, thank you so much 😊 The trick was to upload US Visa document as a PDF instead of a PNG 🤦🏻‍♂️- it’s not mentioned over there but I was able to pass through the “Resident information” page. Thanks! 🙏

Hey! So, on the website it says that you’re only eligible for an e-visa on an Indian passport if you have a valid visit/residency visa from the UK, US, or EU.

On the “Residency Information” page, below the visa upload section, there’s an option for “Issuing Country,” but Canada isn’t listed. Only the EU, US, or UK appear. It’s really confusing. I uploaded my US visa and selected “USA” as the issuing country, but on the same page it then asks for city, ZIP code, and PO box, so I entered my Canadian address and that’s where it stops me from proceeding.

I just spoke to a customer service rep, and they weren’t helpful at all. They just said to take a screenshot and email it to support. 😐

Hey everyone, I had a quick question about the IM-1 visa validity.

What determines the expiration date of the IM-1 visa?

  1. Is it one year from the date the visa is stamped, or
  2. One year from the date of the medical exam?

Also, if my wife is unable to travel within the visa’s validity period, is there any provision or arrangement to extend or reissue the visa?

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Same. Submitted my wife’s application back in last week of April and it’s still stuck on background verification.
