Look at the OCI FAQ page for Indian consulate at SFO
http://www.cgisf.org
i believe if you visit http://www.cgisf.org, it details all the required documents.
If you go in person, you don't need to get the PP copy for both you
and your spouse notarized.
not your fault since probably when you applied, they never stated in the FAQ that children of Indian citizen can't apply for OCI. They seem to have added it recently in the FAQ..A friend of mine's...
if you are still Indian citizens, then it's probably the OCI application rejection..
If you don't see anything in the next 2 weeks as well, the OCI cell at SF should reply to your query.
It's 12 weeks after they receive the OCI application that they respond to the applicant's...
Looking at the SF consulate website, there doesn't seem to be any indication relating to this in the near future. On that basis,you are all set to apply for PIO. But I believe that for adults, you...
i believe you will get your $250 back (refundable part of the processing fee) as per the FAQ
Yup..only apply for the minor if one of the parents is eligible to apply for OCI. Just got information from a friend, whose minor's OCI application was rejected as a result. (since both my friend and...
No don't cancel the OCI application now..(since I believe they will not refund your fees anyway once you send in the same).
typically every Friday afternoon, they update the SFO consular website and so if
you don't see your name this week, it's bound to be there next week since it takes 5-7 days for documents to reach...
And moreover for minors, it saves $$$ as well since you only spend $155 + $25 (OCI application fee for existing PIO holders) as opposed to $310
Both the Kids stated above in my earlier post had PIO.
rgdless, I send everything. I don't think just because you are PIO card holder, you
don't need to send copies of your parent's Indian...
absolutely agree.
Just take a 6 month visa or longer depending on how long you are going to stay there and thereafter when you come back you can apply for OCI.
Indian government doesn't recognize "DUAL CITIZENSHIP" in true sense.
Using Indian passport to enter India while still holding any other non-Indian
passport may be considered as a punishable...
I am sure you meant "cancel" your Indian passport. Except for one post on the NY forum here wherein the individual's passport was not returned, I believe if you send in the passport for cancellation...
Based on the observations of the approved OCI postings
webpage, the SFO consulate typically updates the webpage
every Friday noon time. I bet your name should show up
since your OCI documents were...
That was sometime ago. I have received the OCI card and visa stamp 2 weeks ago as of today. Thanks for sharing the information.
In my case, I had the bank issued a cashier's check (from Wells...
Not sure as to why the consulate won't return...
Not sure as to why the consulate won't return your cancelled
passport. I send the same to the SFO consulate 3 months ago
and they send it back in 3 days.
May be you should contact them in case...
1. yes correct for the photos
2. No. I just replied this on another thread which you posted.
Just pay the extra $15 charges now along with OCI fees.
The SFO folks will mail using their own...
For my minor kids (one 5 yr old who could sign his name and another 2.5 yrs old whose thumbprint was taken), I send the following
- US passport 2 copies (1st page self-attested by me on son's...
go to your local bank. Most of them have it in front of the teller.
For e.g. at all Wells Fargo locations, they have a small black box near the counter
and you can use that as well. The bank is...
You need to wait for the US Passport to arrive. The Naturalization
certificate dates are not the ones which they are asking there.
No, you can't leave the three fields blank.
Having a valid...
You are absolutely right my friend. I don't believe that most of the country's
visa forms also think about the corner cases - which we all believe should
have been thought of and drafted...
I believe you should post this on the Washinton thread tracking OCI timelines and possibly have someone from that area comment on the same.
Based on some preliminary discussions I had with friends and family in
NY/tri state area, still very few folks have applied for OCI there.
I may be completely off-base but seems like the SFO...
