    Renunciation Certificate necessrary to apply for an Indian Visa?

    I have learnt from an unconfirmed source that if you have acquired American citizenship and wish to apply for an Indian Visa, you must fill out the renunication certificate before you can get the Visa? Is this true? I thought you filled out the RC only when you were applying for an OCI card...

    Travel to India without an Indian Visa?

    Asking this question (as asked on the OCI forum): Strange as it may sound, but I did hear someone say that it is possible, as a one-time deal. Let's say immediately after you acquire a foreign (in this case American) passport, and you have not yet surrendered your Indian citizenship, you can...

    Oath Ceremony Schedule

    I know I'm jumping the ship here as I have not yet had my interview. But it is next week in San Jose and as hope springs eternal I'm hoping to get approved (even with a more than six-month one-time absence).

    USPS forwards USCIS letters?

    FYI: For what it's worth I thought I'd mention that contrary to what my local post office told me, USPS did forward both the USCIS letter and DMV registration documents to my new address. I was told categorically by the local PO that official and government letters are neither held nor forwarded...

    Will be out of the country on the interview date

    From everything I have heard it's never a good idea to reschedule your interview date. It goes into the la la land and then you wonder what happened to your application. But with luck on your side, you just may be able to reschedule for a future date and be fine. Good luck!

You should be...
