Chandigarh-Mohali are adjoining cities

Chandigarh-Mohali are adjoining cities and come under different jurisdiction with the former a UT and the latter falling under Punjab has lead to this confusion.While Chandigarh has kept pace with the changing times and boasts of at least three five-star hotels, Mohali boasts of no such facilities.In the past also whenever Mohali has hosted an ODI and or a Test match or any match of an international repute, the visa has been issued for both the cities.Faisalabad Wolves, who might have been looking to settle down, acclimatise with the conditions and prepare for the matches ahead were left with nothing else but wait.

"I can't say much on this; it's out of our hands. But, I hope things will be sorted out," said Wolves coach Naveed Anjum.   In 2012, former Pakistan all-rounder Azhar Mahmood also had to grapple with the visa issue. First, there was a delay in issuing the visa to Mahmood, who is also citizen of England, to play in the Indian Premier League (IPL)-5.Early each morning, a line forms outside the walls of the U.S. Consulate in downtown Ho Chi Minh City. Vietnamese citizens like 24-year-old Nguyen Phuong wait patiently, rain or shine, to pay $160 for a visa interview and a chance to get to the United States.

Despite a struggling economy, the United States is still seen as a promised land for many in Vietnam. Phuong, who is hoping to study at the University of Alabama, has been rejected for a visa four times, but his parents insist he keep trying."The traditional thinking is that the U.S. is No. 1," he said.That belief is prevalent in many countries, and it has given rise to bribery schemes that are difficult to detect because U.S. officials who decide on visas are rarely questioned about their decisions, say experts familiar with the process.
