Fr Hess' application for extension of visa rejected

This morning I have had unsettling news. My application for extension of my residential visa after December 10, 2009 has been rejected with instructions to apply once more within the terms of my new entry visa which is valid until May 12, 2010.

It is frustrating after more than 57 years spent in India that a seemingly unhelpful reply is received. And, I had tried more than once to institute an application for Indian citizenship.

It was through Nobilians Feroze Ahmed and Jawed Ashraf that I was able to get a new visa to come back to India. I welcome help. It may come from unexpected sources.

I trust in the Lord,

God's blessings

Fr Hess
