Subject: 9) VISITOR VISA INFORMATION:
Information on the documents required for visitor's visa to USA :-
When the person you are inviting applies to the consulate for the
visitor's visa, he/she has to show documents indicating your
financial capability to support their visit for the specified
duration.It seems the consulate people are more concerned about
potential immigrants, rather then financial capability.
(1) Form I-134.
Affidavit of Support (this form is printed by U.S. Department
of Justice. Immigration and Naturalization Service) The Form-134
must be filled completely and Notarized.
(2) Bank Balance statement (copy)
(3) A letter of verification of employment. (copy)
(4) A valid visa. (H-1 if working etc) (copy)
You only need to send copies of items 2, 3 and 4. They are not
a must, but they will prove that you have sufficient funds to take
care of the visitors during their visit, which in turn will make
getting the visa a little easier.
** Note **
The INS office in San Francisco informed me that I need to send
Form I-134 and a personal letter of invitation to my parents. They
then have to take it to the American Embassy.
To get the form I-134 call your local INS office.
For information of Federal Government Services.
eg. phone number of American Consulate in gondwanaland.
Call
1 (800) 726-4995
VISA BY MAIL!!!
If the visitors are over 50 years of age they can MAIL all
these things along with their passports to the nearest US consulate,
else they will have to go in person.

Subject: 11) CUSTOM REGULATIONS
NEW BAGGAGE RULES
Foreign tourists, NRIs and Indians travelling abroad can now bring in
electronic diaries, video cameras, CD players, laptop computers and
colour TVs of 15 cm screen by paying the usual customs duty.
Travellers will now enjoy enhanced duty-free allowance worth Rs 3,000
and Rs 150,000 in case of transfer of residence.
The duty-free allowance for Indians travelling abroad for more than three
days has been raised from Rs 2,400 to 3,000.
The TR rules have been made more flexible by condoning a shortfall of the
required stay of up to 1 year in special cases. A Collector of Customs
can sanction this shortfall up to 2 months.
13 consumer durables like VCRs, color TV and airconditioners worth Rs 150,000
would now be allowed under the TR rules and Rs 30,000 under mini-transfer
rules. This will apply even if the items are purchased at the transit points
while returning to India.
OTHER CHANGES IN CUSTOMS REGULATIONS
Import duties for allopathic drugs are reduced from 110% to 80%, and
for homeopathic drugs from 65% to 40%.
Self-assessment of goods would be permitted for established importers as well
as government undertakings where there are no disputes about classification.
This could be described as a "green channel" as the goods would usually
be cleared without scrutiny, though there would be occasional spot checks.
Chemical testing, where necessary, will now be done at various
laboratories in the private and public sector as well as the existing
customs laboratories.
CARRYING GOLD TO INDIA
Gold including ornaments, except those studded with stones or pearls,
will be allowed to be imported as a part of baggage by passengers of
Indian origin subject to certain conditions. The quantity of gold
imported will not exceed 5 kg per passenger and he should have stayed
abroad for a period of atleast six months. The import duty is, to be
paid in convertible foreign currency, Rs. 220.00 for 10 grams of gold
in any form (ornaments or coins).
CALL YOUR NEAREST CONSULATE AND THEY WILL GLADLY MAIL YOU ACCURATE AND UP
TO DATE INFORMATION .

Subject: 12) Tourist Information
The goverment of India, Department of Tourism has offices in many countries
to provide tourist information to people who wish to take their vacation
in India. They are called India Tourist Office. I found the address of some
and I am sure there must be others in USA. If somebody knows let me know.
New York
India Tourist Office
30 Rockefellar Plaza,
Suite 15,
North Mezzanine,
New York, NY 10012.
L.A.
India Tourist Office
3550 Wilshire Blvd.,

(213) 380-8855
Chicago
India Tourist Office
(312) 236-6899
(312) 236-7879
Call this office for a brochure. They are some great plans that you probably
never knew existed. Most of them are however for NRI or Foreign Citizens and
require payment in Dollars.
INDRAIL PASS
The Indrail Pass gives unlimited rail travel within India in the
specified time period. It is available to non-Indian citizens as well
as Indians residing outside India. It can be purchased through the General
Sales Agents (details below), though any competent travel agent should
be able to fix you up. It can also be bought from major stations in India.
Main plus points include eliminating the need to buy tickets for every
trip, though reservations are necessary. There are special reservation
quotas on some trains for Indrail holders.
It is available in 3 categories: AC, First Class, Second Class. It is
not advisable to take the AC pass since not many trains have AC First Class.
The First Class pass also covers AC Sleeper and AC Chair Car.
GSA details:
Hariworld Travel, New York. 212-957-3000
Also in Toronto, 416-366-2000
Fares:

1 day 65 29 12 (all in USD)
15 270 135 65
30 410 205 90
90 800 400 175
(Also available for 7,21,60 days. Kids below 12 pay half)
There are also odd rules like a foreigner can buy a pass for his/her
spouse.
Another plus point is that you can make reservations upto 360 days
in advance, i.e. even through your travel agent in the US-though you
would have to have the pass in hand before making reservations.
Much useful information about the Pass regulations(in fact, about
the Indian Railways as a whole) can be found in "India by Rail", by
Roylston Ellis, published by Bradt Publishers. Some information is
also available in "Eurail Guide" and "Thomas Cook's Overseas Timetable"

Subject: 15) Printing Indian Language Texts using TeX and/or PostScript
TeX/PS:
There are two transliteration packages for TeX that are
available by anonymous ftp:
1. The first package, itrans, has been developed by Avinash
Chopde avinash@contex.com, currently supports Devanagari and Tamil.
It uses the Washington Tamil Metafont font (developed at U of
Washington) and a Postscript Devanagari font (developed by Avinash).
It also supports Frans Velthuis's Devnag font (see item 2 below).
"itrans" is a package for printing transliterated
indian language documents. The input may be in TeX format, or may
be a dumb textual document (no word processing features). Version 2.1
was released in October 1991.
The package includes all C-sources, the PostScript Devanagari font,
and the Metafont Tamil font. It is available as a compressed tar
file, at these FTP sites:
cs.duke.edu (128.109.140.1), in dist/sources/itrans21.tar.Z
ftp.stolaf.edu, in pub/sci/itrans21.tar.Z
This package DOES NOT include Frans's Devnag font, you have to get it
separately.
2. The second package Devanagari for Tex has been developed by
Frans J. Velthuis (velthuis@rc.rug.nl). It has Computer Modern fonts
for Devanagri. It is available by anonymous ftp from
june.cs.washington.edu in the directory ~/tex in devnag.tar.Z
Macintosh:
Macintosh fonts for Devanagari and Tamil are available by
anonymous ftp from mac.archive.umich.edu. They are in the file
indianfonts.sit.hqx in the directory

fonts are absolutely free.

Please DO NOT post articles asking for "Internet access in (xxx) area code?"
Queries for such sites should be directed to alt.internet.access.wanted.
If you are trying to send mail from one network to another and are unsure
of how to do this [and you can't find the answer from your local system
administrator or this document] then you should get a copy of the
"Internetworking Guide". The Guide is posted regularly to comp.mail.misc.
The Guide is maintained by John J. Chew <poslfit@gpu.utcs.utoronto.ca> and
is available for anonymous FTP from Ra.MsState.Edu in the file
pub/docs/internetwork-mail-guide. Other questions about electronic mail
should be directed to the newsgroup comp.mail.misc.
If you want to get a list of public access UNIX sites, please see the
Nixpub bulletin board list that is posted regularly to alt.bbs. The
list is maintained by Phil Eschallier <phil@ls.com> and is available
for anonymous FTP from GVL.Unisys.COM in the file pub/nixpub/long.
Questions or comments should be directed to alt.bbs.
If you want to get a list of dial-up bulletin board systems, please
get a copy of THELIST. THELIST is available for anonymous FTP from
wuarchive.wustl.edu in the directory /mirrors/msdos/bbslists. See

This FAQ follows the RFC1153 recommendations for message digests and
thus should easily be viewed by newsreaders that understand message
digests.
This FAQ also uses the Subject: lines with the answer to each question
and thus it should be easy to step through the answers with the "^G" command
of rn.
This FAQ marks each question with a "dash number dash" so that using
a regular expression search pattern you can easily get directly to any
question on the document.
