Very smooth. :) I managed to reach there by noon and dropped off my US passport and the printout of the receipt sheet. (i had already cancelled my Indian passport.) Was asked to come back between 1.30 and 2. They had some technical issues and couldn't give it out until close to 2 pm...

Thanks VJ! Let me leave right away and try to get there by 11.

VJ, Glad that everything went smoothly. Good for you! :) Do you know cut-off time in the morning for dropping off the passports and picking up the OCI? I know the prior threads said it was 11 am but think the website also mentioned between 12.30 and 1. (Trying to see if I could go...

Thanks for the FYI Ginnu. Your posts and explanations are very helpful and I hope all the new applicants read your posts. :)

Hi, Posting my timeline. Background: My first OCI application in Oct 09 was returned for name change; there wasn't any but the issue was that I had my initials expanded in my Indian passport (taken 20 yrs ago during my high school when I applied it on the spur) whereas my first name in...

They sent the resubmit letter within three weeks. I went to the consulate this morning to realize that they will not take it in person (they take only the US passports that have been approved for OCI). Though their website mentions that applications have to be sent thru mail only, it was...

Mine was returned asking for name change certificate. (I had my initials expanded on my Indian passport but not in my US passport and other records. Hence my current OCI application had my first name as "K.P.") Anyone knows if it is better to go in person to explain it or just resubmit the...

Any luck? I mailed my appln on Sep 1 and assumed I can see the acknowldgement on the OCIindia site (http://ociindia.nic.in/ociindia/OnlineOCIenquiry...) in about 20 days like the others. But I still don't. Is there any other kind of acknowledgement that we can expect to see/receive that...

It is amazing to go thru this thread. The mods and the other posters have been fantastic in responding to the various queries. A big THANK YOU! :)

Advice Dev- POE - Port of Entry I noticed your request for assistance at the 140 stage level in the discussion folder meant for CP interviews. Before posting any more questions on various discussion folders, I suggest you first read thoroughly the postings that pertain to your current...

Thanks to this great forum and the participants whose patience and unselfish attitude has made this final green card stage incredibly easy. I completed my interview without any problem and received the visa papers this morning. The documents checklist and the procedures are exactly the same...

check message # 61 that contains all the docs as per Pkt 4  

Start praying... Though the White House clarified at 10.45 am (5/31/02) that the departure of the non-emergency staff is only voluntary, they did not comment on the chances that it might become compulsory. In any case, all we can do is to keep our fingers crossed...

check the Chennai consulate web-site The web-site has the generic Pkt 4 saved as pdf documents. I believe that the actual documents are more or less the same as those except that the actual documents contain a cover letter addressed to the beneficiary informing him/her about the interview...

Thank you for the prompt response Wish you the best! Rajan

What exactly is a local PCC? certf issued by local police or regional passport office?? Bluegrass- Congratulations! Glad to read that you managed to get everything done. Can very well imagine what a harrowing time it would have been to be told to obtain a local PCC at the last minute...

What?? One of my friends sent his completed P-3 to NVC in Jan \'02 and has his interview on March 21st. As of today (3/18/02), it\'s only those who are currently sending it through St.Louis who are yet to hear back on the interview date. My lawyers mailed my Pkt 3 (230+Money order) to...

think you need local PCC too... This is based on the FAQ posted on the Chennai consulate\'s web-site and confirmed by many.

sorry to read that... My details: EB2, NVC revcd Pkt 3 from St Louis - 3/18/02 NVC completed review - 4/8/02. They informed me yesterday that it will be mailed to Chennai within 2-4 weeks. Going by the experiences of yourself and others, I think I can probably expect the interview in July...
