Help needed wtih Prepaid shipping label for OCI...

Thank you milli.,

I partially cleared, if chance can you explain little further,
I would greatly appreciate your help.

Please guide me, FedEx setup for getting the print the labels.

1) http://www.fedex.com/us/
2) click on Register Now ?
3) once click on Register Now got following info

Choose the account option that meets your needs

a) Open a FedEx account
b) Use my account online
c) Get user ID only

Here which one is iam going to choose from a, or b or c

4) I heard Trivasa people given following instruction
If using a FedEx label, do not use a credit card number when filling out the billing information on the label.
You must provide a pre-paid air bill or provide a valid FedEx account number.

Can you explain little further for question 4

5) total cost for OCI + renouncing (myself + wife + 17 years kid + 12 years kid)

Thank you once again.

Choose a) open a fedex account.

What travisa says is not to use the fedex printed label(which you find in fedex office) where you can specify your credit card for payment. But when you print online using your fedex account, it would not have your credit card information in it.

When you fill out the travisa order form, it will automatically calculate the total cost.

Hi milli.,

I got question about kids "visible mark" column in OCI form.

Please advise , what iam going to do to fill that column.

Iam sure they did not have any records , if did know they visible marks or not

If they have, can i fill the visible mark column with mark location in OCI form without official record ?

thanks once again.,

No official records are required. It is just what you can see(like mole scar) which stays foreever. Just specify none if your kids don't have any.

If the kids never had Indian Citizenship. Then you should be sending the copy of US passport and copy of birth certificate and there is no need of Renunication for the kids.
If the kids had Indian Citizenship before, then you have fill the reunciation forms for the kids and send the original Indian passport for OCI.

Please call travisa, They take the call and help you with providing all the details, so the best way is to call travisa.

Hello. When sending in copies, do we have to sign each copy as "This is true copy of the original" for OCI and Renunciation?

Also, do we have to paste the photo on the OCI application or with a paper clip?

I thought the fee for OCI was $275 because on the Travisa Order Form it's $278. Did the fee got changed? Thanks

Return postage requirement for renunciation

Does anyone know how much postage should I put on the return USPS envelope for my renunciation certificate? Travisa wants $36 dollars on top of $190 that I am paying already......

This renunciation certificate is a joke. It is the same form what you filled will be returned to you with the date stamped on it. But not sure if you are also getting your passport back with it. If it is just the certificate then it is a single paper and you just pay the baseline price for the service you choose.
 
Travisa Order Form

Question about the Order Form.

For shipping from me to Travisa and then Travisa back to me FedEx Overnight was an option ($24.00 each way). Do I just pick up an envelope from any FedEx office location, stick barcode generated after filling out the order form and include my prepaid shipping label then send it out? Do I also need to print out a shipping label from me to them and stick it on the envelope when I'm sending it out?

When I go to make a FedEx account, I understand I can print the prepaid shipping label. With the order form 24.00 is taken both ways I'm assuming it is covering shipping costs, so I have already paid for it and it is included in my money order. Would FedEx charge me any additional charges?

I'm just really confused.

What if I wanted to send using certified USPS mail, what option would i check off under shipping from you to Travisa Outsourcing? "Shipping Already Paid with Another application" or "I will use my own airbill"?

If I am including a FexEx printed return label, what do I check off on the order form under shipping from Travisa to me? "FedEx Overnight" or "Shipping Already Paid with Another Application"?

Just create a FedEx account and you can print the shipping label including the prepaid one. Choosing own packaging would save some money for you. Yes you would have already paid for them. If you the correct service and weight, FedEx will not charge anything extra.

So from what you are saying I should choose Shipping already paid with another application for both shipping options since I'm going through FedEx?

Thank you Thank you ^_^
 
Mailing via USPS

Through USPS Certified Express Mail. If I include the prepaid envelope, does Travisa generate their own shipping label to me? Or would I also have to include a prepaid shipping label?

I would just go with fedex ground with own packaging. Believe me the cost would be almost same or even less than USPS with add-on services like certified,delivery confirmation etc.
