Just a comment about my related experience.I was invited as a plenary speaker by a conference in Kolkata in 2015.Although I still do not really understand why I failed to get a visa
since I followed all instructions to the letter, this is my impression:
I applied for a "Conference Visa" and the material provided by
the organizers in Kolkata was incomplete for obtaining
such a visa, at least according to the people at the official visa office of
the Indian Consulate in New York. I was not able to find out what it was that
was missing, either from the consulate people or the organizers in Kolkata.So I ended up not going. It has cost me a lot of time and money (for touristicplans prior and after the conference that I already booked, not expectingany problems). I guess that this is an Indian thing that I do not understand.

Dear Sara, Yes "Applicants from all over the world are encouraged to apply". I understand the disappointment and completely agree, but in the end, only the officers at the Embassy have the visa issuing authority and each country has its restrictions. We had put our best efforts from our side with required papers for visa purpose, but ultimately the Embassy officers are the decision-makers. Hope you understand that it was a situation beyond our control.Best regards,Natesh

Despite the
"Applicants from all over the world are encouraged to apply"
I would like to highlight that my graduate student from Pakistan, working in Singapore, did not get a visa to attend the workshop last round.
Disappointing and not good for science. I hope you do better this year,
Sara
