Sweet Maddi got it right. Egmore has plenty of nice places. Adayar is nice but the traffic is bad and the commute is a pain. Do not live at Marina Beach. It is not as nice as it sounds and there are no services. There are some very nice places ... Read More

USA Ten-year Visa; is the 180 day limit still in effect? by Dennis Tedder

I am getting a variety of answers and nothing i can find current on the Web. After the attack a few years ago in Mumbai, there was a maximum limit of days (180) that one could stay. Does anyone know if this requirement been lifted?

Cole

Still 180 days and no waiting. If you want to stay longer you need residence papers, registration and non objection certificates from the tax department to leave. Pop over to Colombo for a break from the madness. It is very nice. Read More
