Gurus: I am planning to sponsor green card for my parents and the big questions is their health insurance. My father is 66 and my mother is 62. Both have pre-existing conditions. We live in California and I looked at the Medi-Cal site which says that 65+ with no income eligible for Medi-Cal...

You pay stub, bank statements, letter of employment, electricity or water bill and a copy of W2

For her I need to postpone her trip but if you send all the required documentation then I dont think there should be any issue. Just keep good amount of time for VISA before you travel.

Yes she did. Few months later we sent her passport and she got the visa.

Not aware of any such requirement of citizens filing AR-11

We received all the Indian passports, surrender certificate, us passports and ofcourse OCI :)

Received my OCI Sent on June 4th Received: June 7th Acknowledgment: June 11th Granted : June 15th ' Printed: June 19th Sent to SFO: June 21st Received by SFO: No update Received by me: July 1st Good luck to you all. Is this journey finally over

2 Return envelopes 1) For SC and the other one for OCI

Based on my understanding of the process: 1. SF acknowledges cases like every week or 2 weeks. so it depends on when in the queue you applied which is why some people see acknowledgments in couple of days vs. weeks 2. OCI India dispatches documents in a specific interval too.

Oci I think this time its my turn to give you guys an update :- Applied for OCI + Surrender Certificate together for my wife, me and a kid (PIO to OCI for Kid). 1. Sent everything in one packet but attached separate money orders e.g. 2-$275 1-$145 and 2-$20 for Surrender Certificate...

WOW!! So now they are taking 3 weeks to acknowledge the application. My application reached there on June 7th, so I guess I have a long way to go. Can we like register for the notification for the status change or is it something like check it everyday?

EaglePutt: Could you please state the timelines of your application? E,g, How long it took for them to acknowledge the application?

Praveen: Thanks for the update. Sorry to hear about your situation. Please keep us posted for the reason of return. Is it because of your first passport or not obtaining the SC first?

Is it because they are processing your SC first and then start the OCI because if we go with this logic then SC takes 2 weeks and then OCI begins.

Has anyone on this thread both the applications together? Please share your experiences.

I am hoping they do not send me back everything. Will keep you guys posted.

I already sent both the applications together before seeing your response. Not sure ..whether they are going to return everything or if they want they can hold..my OCI till the time Surrender is processed. I sent 2 prepaid envelopes. One for OCI return and the other one for surrender certificate.

Praveen: Any update on your OCI application? Folks: How many photos we need? Do I just need to paste the picture on 2 copies of part-A or I need to send 2 more in addition to part-A photos?

Folks: I need help as I am sick and tired of calling CGI, SF as well as sent emails but no one ever responds. 1. Can I send surrender certificate and OCI application together and expect them to co-ordinate at their end? 2. For OCI: Do I need to send 2 more photos other than the ones...

Thanks!! Surrender Certificate also requires US Passport Number.
