Q: For those who already have experience going through this process To which address the Biometric notice is mailed to, the I130 petitioner's or the beneficiary's if they happen to live separate at the time of filing due to one being a student and the other on a job (OPT) elsewhere...

Thanks for your reply. I am from Mpls.

I need you guidance on this address part of the I130 and I485 - filing concurrently. Please help me. My daughter (USC) is in grad school (grad date 08/2011) and my would be son-in-law is on F1 (OPT) and at this moment has no fixed address per se due to the nature of his job. He has already...

Induz Hope you get through your interview without any issues. I have a question for you - You mentioned NOA for I-130, so what about I-130 approval ? Don't you need that for the AOS adjustment ? I am asking because I need to go the same way in a while for my daughter. Appreciate...

Nice to be back among this knowledgable community. I need you guidance on a few thing. Please help me. My daughter (USC) is in grad school (grad date 08/2011) and my would be son-in-law is on F1 (OPT) and at this moment has no fixed address per se due to the nature of his job. He has already...

Got the Indian passports back along with the SC and with this ends our OCI saga. It took more than 5 months for us from start to finish. But thank god it has ended.

Recd. the OCI s After a long ordeal and a couple of nasty emails, we got back our OCIs and the US passports. I had told them that I would be compelled to write to the State department that they were withholding US passports w/o assigning any reasons. Then only these fellows responded thru'...

Status updated to Granted for both our applications - a week after sending the Indian passports for renunciation and the Surrender Certficate.

We too have a family OCI application pending with the Chicago mission (Date of Ack. May 8th, Scanned on May 13th.) However, my Indian pp was cancelled in 1999 after I got my Canadian citizenship. My wife has her Indian pp intact but haven't used after we got our US citizenship. So I just sent...

Yes, I did send the US address proof with the application along with copies of cancelled Indian pp and visa bearing pages of the Canadian. I don't understand 'SC' after 10 years with a cancelled pp. I simply don't undertstand this madness. What next "charge repeatedly for carrying an...

Do I need a SC with an already cancelled Indian pp My OCI appln is pending with scanned status for almost 3 weeks. My Indian pp was cancelled 10 years back (Canadian citizenship) Now I have applied for OCI based on US citizenship. Do I need to preempt and send in the SC (after these...

Finally, Our OCI applications (recd. on 03/30/10) were acknowledged today 05/08/10.

Look at the main web page for Chicago consulate and the 'Contact us' link at the very bottom to the left. You will find an email template out there for different services. Just fill out the Enquiry Form and send. http://www.indianconsulate.com/HDWForm2Mail/EnquiryFormPHP_InfoOciPIC.php

Our OCI application was recd. on 03/30 - but no Acknowledgement so far at their website. I had written to Chicago saying that other offices ack. within a fortnight or so, and here's their reply : "We have asked to send applications by USPS Express mail or FEDEX so that you have confirmation...

------------ Thanks Thomas for your response. My daughter is an US citizen too. But you are right in your apprehension about the post marriage cohibition under the present circumstances. If my would be son-in-law joins her at the same grad school, then much of it is alleviated but if he...
