What's in a name!!!

Ever felt like a beggar who has found food after a long and is just about to satiate his hunger that someone emerges from nowhere and runs into him and the food falls is dropped and becomes inedible...yeah this might sound like some scene in movies but such things happen many a times in real life to though not the same food scenario by etymologically similar scenarios. Similar thing is happening to me too. After a very very long time some thing good was happening and things were going my way in offfice and I had the"Naseeb khul gayee!!" feeling that I suddenly slipped and am falling. I had got a long awaiting project change and my H1-B processing has also been initiated but the processing seems to be going nowhere :(. And all this because of my name being too long and I not having a surname. MOM! DAD! why didn't u gimme a surname.

Thing is I do not have surname and the surname part in my passport has been striked off and under it my f$%^&* name has been written and under given names my father's
name. This id how it looks in the passport
Surname (this has been striked off)
Venkatakrishnan -
Given Names
Ramaswamy

Now this is causing an issue, according to the Imigration handling team in office. So the names in the passport needs to be interchanged and even if you dont have a surname there needs to be something under the surname field. I have got tired explaining that since I do not have the surname field is/would be blank... but hell no they need a surname. Finally I had to give in H1-B jo sawal hain...so will be applying for a new passport (stupid babuism - rules have changed so even for a name change new paassport need to be applied) that to TATKAAL(gaya mera 2500!)
Its OK visa ka sawal hain....

Arre yaar naam mein kya rakha hain waise toh bhi woh gora log ko kuch samajhta toh nahin hain...lekin kya karein onsite jaana hain goron ke liye kaam karke paise kamana hain!! And if this doesn't happen soon my relatives look at me as a scorn in the family !! sochenge khota sikha hain...arre XXXX se abhi mere bajoowale ko onsite bhejaa hain...tujhe kyun nahin bhejti XXXX....kya problem hain.... The problem is not wid me its wid f#$%^& XXXX.

Anyways for poor souls like me who are going to get into such situations this is what u got to do-
a.Tell ur HR to continue with the visa initiation process and promise them u will be applyin for a new passport under tatkal and hence wud get it soon.
b.Apply for a new passport and surrender this old one.
c.Rush to the Bank and apply for an adddress proof or if u can get it from ur office it would also do. If you have ration card documents or gas connection documents - these can also be furnished for present address proof. Permanent address proof need not be given. BSNL tel bill ka chalta hain magar airtel ka nahin...
d.Ask the office to issue an urgency letter
e.get 5 color passport photograghs with white back ground
f.fill up an annexure affidavit form and this needs to be notarized... try to get hold of a agent for this ... there wud b some guy in the office who will be doing such stuff for money - Its all about money honey ...sab paise ka hi khel hain...
g.fill up the passport application form 2
h.any 3 identification proof documents - driving licence, pan card, company id card.

Take all originals with you to the pp office. Go as early as possible nahin toh bahut bada line hota hain!!

Well my story doesn't end here, will let u know whether I was able to have the sweet or was it taken away from me....
