Spouse of Indian national for entry visa

[Shra16]

Hi

can someone please help me understand if India is issuing entry visa for spouse of Indian origin now as a emergency category.

what does this exactly mean “ spouse of Indian national” ?does this category only apply if your spouse is in India and you need visa to go to India or even if they are here in US, we can still apply for entry visa. I have applied my OCI and really anxious that it will not come in time.

looking for alternative visa to travel to India once I get my passport back from VFS.

want to know if I can apply for entry visa as spouse of Indian national.

thank you
