Hi!

Hi!
Haven't personally heard of anything like this.

Heh... there are referred visa appointments, which are vetted by embassy officials. Some government officials take advantage of these. HOwever, its a personal favor, and an Indian government official will be unlikely to call it in unless they know you, very well.

Visa is not granted on the basis of recommendation of anykind. It is purely on the basis of applicant's interview with the CO. Keep trying..

Well... not exactly true, but true for most people. In the shady and underhanded realm of world bureaucracy, everyone scratches everyone elses back.
