The application process is completely online <br\/>\n<strong>Explanation:<\/strong> According to the advisory on the Indian Embassy website, the e-B-4 Visa can be applied for entirely online, without visiting the embassy or using agents. The permitted stay is up to six months, not one year (Option 2), and the processing time is approximately 45\u201350 days, not 7\u201310 days (Option 3).
