Got all my documents back today! The long journey is finally over. :) OCI dispatched - 29 Mar 10 Received at CGNY - 13 Apr 10 [Travelled out of the US] Mailed Indian and US passports - 11 May 10 (Express mail) Received at CGNY - 12 May 10 (USPS says item was signed for by M MANISHA)...

ginnu, just mailed everyone on your list describing the mess at CGNY...hopefully it has some effect.

Received a call from the consualte this morning asking me to submit the renunciation documentation in order to get my OCI. Looks like they finally opened my mail that they received on 12 May. The lady did not know about my conversation with Mrs. Kumar and when I mentioned that and the fact that...

> Are you sure she said to attach three set copies of documents. Yes, absolutely certain! I spoke with her for about 5 minutes and she mentioned "in triplicate" (my inference is: original + 2 copies) several times. Guess this is in line with the original OCI submission. Hey, the filing guy/gal...

Update I had sent e-mails to just about everybody at the consulate several times since they received my passports for the OCI stamping on 12 May (without renunciation form or USD 175). To my utter surprise Mrs. Pushpa Kumar called me this afternoon and said the follwoing: 1. The...

PittsfieldMA & BostonCool, we are all in the same situation. I e-mailed Mrs. Pushpa Kumar twice but of course there's no response. I called them but it goes to voice mail when the phone is not busy. I'm thinking of faxing them so that I can at least get my US passport back and get an entry visa...

Tracking return of US passport for U visa stamping (and OCI card) I was initially planning to go to the consulate sometime soon but found out that the service is no longer available. Also heard about the requirements of surrendering the Indian passport for USD 175. Wasn't totally surprised...

1alex, my wife's case got approved under similar circumstances. She was born in England and her parents were Indian citizens at the time of her birth. Pertinent to your question, we submitted: 1. Her British birth certificate establishing the Indian ancestry 2. Her mom's expired Indian...

Documents dispatched from Delhi on 29 Mar but not received at CGNY yet! I'm starting to get a bit concerned. It has gone ok upto this point and hopefully doesn't get messed up in this last stage. Guys, any ideas how long it normally takes for this part of the process? Would appreciate your...

@ginnu: Yes, by chance/accident (and some thought), an utility bill and a property tax bill. As I was going through the required docs I noticed that they required proof of address (but did not say how many or whether the names of the adult applicants had to be on them!) and printed a copy of an...
