I have often wondered about this having lived for more than 4 Years In The United States some 20 Years ago.
As Things stand now in Countries Like The United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and The United Kingdom it is difficult to gain entry even if you are an Indian Catholic Christian with trappings of Western Culture and all.
It seems like you are viewed just as any other Indian is viewed.
Indians as Immigrants seem to be despised in all countries I have mentioned above.
Well, They are to blame also.
Many Indians specially those who enter into "Arranged Marriages" tend to abuse the Immigration System in General.
However, When an Indian Catholic Christian who is highly educated and Westernized wants to enter a Country in North America he is viewed with suspicion just as the Average Indian is viewed.
Immigration Officials in North America do not tend to be "Discerning" in any sort of way.
There is a lot of stereotyping that goes on as far as Indians as Potential Immigrants is concerned.
I would like to appeal to Immigration Officials in the United States and Canada in particular to have a "Discerning Mind" when an Educated Indian Catholic Christian applies for an Immigrant Visa.
Educated Indian Catholic Christians should not be grouped with other Indians who are Hindus, Sikhs, Or Moslems.
They need to be viewed differently and treated with some Deference.
