Thanks tvn_ramesh, chetanojha and bani for your inputs. I agree with Bani as it would be hell waiting for the visa and passport to come through with tickets in hand. And the turnaround time can never be predicted with certainty. I think I am going to for the trip and then come back and apply in octo...
