Got my Japan tourist visa in JUST 2 working days! 🇯🇵 | VFS Delhi

Just wanted to share my experience in case it helps someone applying for a Japan tourist visa from Delhi.
I got my Japan visa in just 2 working days!!!

The entire process at VFS Delhi was quite simple and straightforward. I submitted all the documents mentioned in the checklist on the VFS website.

Additional documents I attached:
- Australia visa (as an additional travel history document)
-I had actually forgotten to carry a photocopy of my passport (o but the VFS staff were kind enough to make the copy themselves, so that wasn't an issue.
- Account balance I showed was 3L + 3 years ITR
The VFS staff were helpful and the submission process was pretty smooth overall.

For reference, this was a tourist visa application, and I submitted the documents exactly as per the requirements mentioned on the VFS website.

Honestly, I was expecting it to take longer, so getting it back in just 2 working days was a surprise!
Hope this helps anyone applying from Delhi.

Feel free to ask ANYTHING!

Lost our #1 ranking for “ULIP Plan” after a Google update and can’t recover. Has anyone experienced this?

We’ve been ranking #1 for the keyword “ULIP Plan” for a long time. Around 1.5 months ago, everything was stable, and then after the latest Google update, we got hit pretty hard.

Instead of dropping a few positions, we were pushed straight to the second page, and we’ve been stuck there ever since.

- We’ve already gone through the basics:
- Updated and improved the content
- Refreshed statistics and information
- Checked internal linking
- Reviewed technical SEO issues
- Compared our page against competitors

But nothing seems to move the needle. The page is getting crawled and indexed normally, yet rankings haven’t recovered.

I’m trying to understand whether this is something others have seen after recent Google updates. Is it just a matter of waiting for another core update, or are there specific recovery strategies that have actually worked for you?

Can I use conditional/different menu bars for different sections of the website?

I have a website with a lot of pages. All of having one niche and the menu bar is customised according to that. What I feel is that Google Bot come to my website and relate my website to that niche only which have approximately 80k pages. 
Suppose, in that 80k pages, I have a different niche (10k pages) where I want different menu bar which will be related to that niche only, will the google accept it? 
The conditional/different menu bar can be implemented or not?

Can google handles multiple navgation menus on a single domain?
Because it will be context-specific menu which will serve the user intent.

SAVANA refunded ₹9,000 to wallet instead of my bank account despite me selecting “refund to source”

I’m honestly quite frustrated and wanted to know if anyone else has faced this issue with SAVANA.

I recently cancelled an order worth almost ₹9,000. During the cancellation process, I specifically selected the option to have the refund credited back to my original payment method. There was absolutely no intention on my part to receive the refund as store credit or wallet balance.

However, when the refund was processed, the entire amount was credited to my SAVANA wallet instead.

What makes this more frustrating is that ₹9,000 is not a small amount of money. If I chose “refund to source account,” how can the refund end up in the wallet? Was it a technical glitch, or is this something SAVANA does regularly?

I’ve already reached out to customer support and am waiting for a response, but I’m concerned about how a customer’s selected refund preference can simply be ignored. Having such a large amount locked into a store wallet feels unfair, especially when I never opted for it.

Has anyone else experienced something similar? Were you able to get the amount transferred back to your original payment method? Any advice on how to escalate this if customer support doesn’t help would be appreciated.
