As per standard rules, I had made an application for extension of my visa to the concerned department of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) in New Delhi on Sep 14, 2013," Adnan said in a statement released Tuesday.<br /><br />"This is a standard procedure that is followed by all foreigners and I have been following it for the past 14 years.
