I contend the real losers would be legal residents. Why?? The law clearly says you MUST carry alien registration docs if you are not a citizen. Those docs are your green card; or 797 "notice of approval form"; or your foreign passport with the visa stamp in it. If you do not, you are...

yes, they will give you more pages . I had only 4 pages filled and they happily gave me the extras. didnt have to send any explanations...just the form. (Well you could be a business traveller for example and you may need several visas/stamps....) The reason I wanted pages is sometime in...

Call the toll free # for passport applications and tell them you need a sleeve. They will most likely send you one for free by regular mail.

hike has been announced for about a month now. They are right now soliciting input from public - but as you know who rescinds their plans if people voice their opposition.. it could be as early as April when they raise their prices... You have nothing to lose by asking for more pages... its...

They will soon start charging $82 for this free service. If you believe in the lifetime of your passport you require more pages, you should apply for extra pages now! there are so few pages in the passport+ several pages have information - so there are less than 20 actual usable pages. In...

Can you explain why?

So it appears they sew the extra pages to the present passport - Qsns - how does the page numbering works? I.e do they put extra pages between pages 14 and 15? Or do they put the pages after 28? Would the sewn pages in any way create the impression the passport is fake? - Will they give me...

Does anyone know how they add more pages to your passport? Do they give ANOTHER passport to you with exactly the same data and do they CANCEL your present passport? Or do they just give another booklet with not much info etc? Reason I am asking is - this service that is free - will cost...

Assumption: your country allows dual citizenship AND there are no formalities you have to take after you acquire US citizenship example - you dont have to get special passport from your country for duals etc. If you are entering US or Canada, you HAVE to enter with your US/Canadian passports...

yes, I had not sent the return envelope. The $10 was to cover their mailing fees. I had mentioned in my cover letter that I was going to send return envelope + the Indian passport once the OCI was approved and I had to send US passport anyway. Apparently they are very strict about needing to...

The article is about "still" Indian citizens. i.e those folks who are not citizens of ANY other country. You have posted it in the section of OCI. OCIs are NOT NRIs. There will never be any voting rights for them. Unless of course, they give us dual citizenship. Any idea if it will EVER...

Adawra, I feel your pain. They did the same thing to me. In my case I had not sent the original Indian passport - only the copies of the pptc as I thought I would send the original after the approval and with the US passport. They sent the whole application back and asked me to send another...

No update on the OCI application. Please advise. They received my OCI application 10 days back. If I go to the status qnquiry page and enter my USASI # there is no update, no acknowledgement etc. Dont know what is goin on or if there is any problem. I had not sent self addressed...

I called the passport hotline late last week - they asked me to submit DS-86 form - non receipt of passport. I filled it and sent it - it has now reached state deptt. Tracking number for the original passport now shows some movement = it is currently stuck in some city on way to my state. but...

Got my pass card on Monday and naturalization cert last Friday. Passport has not arrived so far. Passport hotline mentions it was mailed on Dec 2 or 3 by priority. Should receive around Dec 8. Tracking shows the following - The U.S. Postal Service was electronically notified by...

Well, if you lose your EDL, you will first have to get a temporary DL so you can at least drive and do day to day chores. You may also have to fill up paperwork etc explaining how you lost it. Its much easier to lose your EDL which you would carry to restaurants, bars,Targets/K-marts...

Just received my passport card today - havent yet received passport. for place of birth, it just says "india" but the city is not mentioned - but I had put it down in my application. Is that the way it is supposed to be? i.e do they not mention city of birth for foreign born applicants?

Very good point ... it is human psychology - as mentioned in some of my previous posts , it has happened to me and others have also complained - for example go to the post where one guy was held up for a long time even after he claimed he recently got naturalized and they kept pestering him on...

But the biggest drawback of EDL which SUPERCEDES all the waiting is this - EDLs like passport cards contain RFID chips. People even walking outside your house can skim info on your card - granted- they cannot get all of your personal info, but they DO get number of your information locator...

deeps0, Wow.. .your tracker is really fast. Something very interesting about your tracker and I want to ask - it appears there was just 1 WEEK after you sent that they acknowledged, scanned, approved and printed your OCI certificate. Is that true? I was under the impression that they...
