I am trying to recall now but I am sure that I got my photo taken at a regular CVS pharmacy shop. I am reasonably sure I went in for the standard US passport size photo. In fact, I was not aware of the 35 to 40 mm size rule until just now. 2 inches = 50.8 mm. I looked at my OCI...

OCI card from NYC embassy One comment on my OCI card's final step: I applied for the OCI card (me and my wife) around October 2008. The cards were approved and arrived at NYC embassy in Dec. 1st week. We asked for our OCI cards by mail, and we mailed our US + Indian...

Yes, I do know someone with the exact same PD as mine, and the person got his IL a week ago. In my case, the comment was that I would be contacted in (about) 7 months for an interview. Nothing so far....and I dont know if the delay is from Hartford or VSC. I am not sure...

That is the issue here....I still did not get my IL (PD 1st week of July, '07) and I am trying to get a sense of whether the issue is at VSC or at Hartford D.O. In your case, did they mention the missing evidence in the receipt? Any input is appreciated.

Question in general: I got my N-400 receipt and FP done last year. PD around 1st week of June. Would my application still be at VSC or would it have been forwarded to the Hartford Office after they send out the FP notice? Thanks. jj-jet

Folks, My PD/FP dates are pretty close to that of Srinivas123 (actually, earlier than his dates by a few days). I know someone else with practically the same PD as mine, and they got their IL a couple of days ago. I checked the on-line status of my N-400 and it is the same message that was...

Thanks Raji_k. We are gearing up for that. Qatar is also on the list of countries whose citizens are finger-printed upon entry to US. So, extra scrutiny is likely....

Folks, My dad is planning to visit the US next month. On his way to the US, he will first stop at the country of Qatar (near Saudi Arabia) for a week, and then fly to US. I am wondering if anyone with an Indian passport has come into the US from Qatar (or nearby...

Re: Question for B1 visa gurus Hi bobn, I suggest supporting the application with a doctor's statement about bed-rest. (One thing that might attract comment is that: it was known during your mil's first visit that a baby was expected. Yet she did not stay for...

HI GC012002 I realize that US citizens do not have to do report change of address. What I was referring to was that when a change in address by an alien is not properly recorded or propagated in an agency, it is a potential security problem for everyone in...

Hi there, Sorry to hear that they were rejected the first time around. Are you convinced that it is because of the birth of child. Four years ago, for the birth of my first child, I did explicitly mention that in my invitation letter to the consulate...

visitor visa (Chennai) approvd. Hi folks, Regarding this topic (i.e. should one avoid mentioning that in-laws/parents visiting to help after baby delivery), based on the postings, we decided that we would not explicitly mention this fact. When they asked my...

I recall reading a similar post about 3-4 days ago. The main idea is that the consulate has to be convinced that the visitors will not become a state charge. So, anything that shows a 'better' financial situation for you wil help. You may need to fill...

Hi Insfan You can include a copy of the I-485 approval notice and mention what it stands for. As for the stamp, when my passport was stamped, it was smudged and unclear, and it was not very informative, so supporting documentation is key. Also, you can talk to...

Re: Leave the letter behind Hi Sept13. Thanks for the pointer. I agree it is better to be asked to come back with missing docs. I'll need to see how to work this one out. Thanks.. jj-jet Invitation letter is not required to apply for visitor's visa. If...
