India Visa Document Assistance
in Canal Winchester, Ohio
India's e-visa system (e-Tourist, e-Business, e-Medical) is available for US citizens and most nationalities. It covers most travel purposes and processes within 72 hours. For situations that e-visa doesn't cover — or for Indian nationals renewing passports — the Indian consulate is involved. We help with both.

Who We Serve
Columbus has one of Ohio's largest Indian-American communities — IT professionals, healthcare workers, Ohio State students and faculty, and families. India offers one of the world's most developed e-visa systems, but the portal has specific technical requirements and photo specifications that frequently cause rejections. We help you get it right.
What We Help With in Canal Winchester
We are a document preparation and translation service — not an attorney or embassy. We make sure every document in your packet is complete, accurate, and correctly formatted before you submit.
India e-Visa Application Assistance
We help complete the Indian e-visa application at indianvisaonline.gov.in — accurate form completion, correct photo/passport scan upload, and selecting the right visa type (e-Tourist, e-Business, or e-Medical).
India-Specific Photo Requirements
India e-visa requires a very specific photo format: plain white background, 350x350 pixel digital image, face covering 70-80% of the frame, no border. We provide correctly formatted digital photos for India e-visa applications.
Indian Civil Document Translation
Certified English translation of Indian documents in Hindi, Gujarati, Telugu, Tamil, Marathi, or Bengali — birth certificates, marriage certificates, school certificates — for US immigration applications.
Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) Card Support
We help Indian-Americans organize documents for OCI card applications — the lifelong visa for people of Indian origin.
Documents You Typically Need
Every case is different — but these are the documents most commonly required for india visa applications. We review your specific situation when you come in.
- 1Valid US passport (minimum 6 months validity, minimum 2 blank pages)
- 2Digital passport photo (white background, 350x350 px, specific proportions)
- 3Scanned first and last pages of passport
- 4Valid US address and contact information
- 5Return ticket or travel plans
- 6For business e-visa: business card, company letter
- 7For medical e-visa: letter from Indian hospital confirming appointment
e-Visa Photo Rejections — The Exact Specifications Are Strict
The India e-visa portal automatically rejects photos that don't meet precise specifications: the digital image must be exactly square (350x350 pixels minimum), the background must be plain white (not off-white, not gray), and the face must fill 70-80% of the frame. Standard US passport photos fail these requirements when scanned because the proportions are different. We provide correctly sized and formatted digital photos for India e-visa applications — taken in our Columbus office or properly formatted from an existing photo.
