Planning from Ludhiana
Ludhiana files are mostly business families. Bicycle and hosiery families from Gill Road, Industrial Area A and B, and Focal Point. They need B1/B2 visas for trade fairs abroad. Family Schengens for holiday trips. Canada study visas for sons and daughters going to community colleges. Ludhiana also has very strong family connections with Brampton, Surrey, and Birmingham — visit visas to meet relatives are very common.
Ludhiana files run fully remote — courier pickup and drop, documents reviewed the day they reach us, no drive to Patiala needed.
