They didn’t accept the person I had chosen for my identity proof. He is a director in a TV company.

I have asked it to another person(Civil servant). He is not at home at the moment, so he can’t check his passport details today. I hope that it doesn’t postpone my application 8-10 days more — I will literally cry…
