A friend from Toronto, Canada encountered the same problem. He then wrote a letter to the Indian Consulate General in Toronto and received his visa in three days. Try this approach. Wish you luck.

Hi everyone,
I am writing this note around midnight which means
that I am very restless and extremely dissapointed and
am finding it very hard to go to bed. Here is my
dilemna: we had recently purchased our tickets for Goa
(my husband has to go and see his sick Dad) - when he
went to the Indian consulate in San Francisco, he was
told that there would be a delay in processing his
VISA only because he was born in Pakistan. He is an
American Citizen and holds an American passport but
apparently it means nothing. I contacted a friend in
San Francisco who is also an American Citizen, born in
Pakistan - he has been waiting for his VISA for 4
months, he is so frustrated that he finally cancelled
his trip in December. Unfortunately, we cannot wait
that long - we have already asked for time off which
by the way is very difficult to get in the STates. Besides, we will have to pay a hefty penalty to cancel
each ticket. I find this to be utter nonsense and I
do not understand why Pakistanis from Pakistan can
move freely in India yet they make it difficult for an
American Citizen born in Pakistan. Any comments or
explanation into this matter? Thank you all for
listening.
Sincerely Daisy
