About 3-4 months start to finish for a smooth case More info on recent apps can be found on this thread http://forums.immigration.com/showthread.php?189218-NSC-St.-Paul-%28-MN%29-timeline/page16 (or search for "NSC/ St. Paul timeline" on the forum-)

Thanks for your timeline snay. One question- how did they acknowledge receipt? Did they send something in the mail or did they email or call? Thanks kharghosh

Hello all We are applying for OCI soon and were wondering if it is worth going personally to the consulate in Chicago to submit forms ( Chicago is a 6 hour drive for us) vs sending by mail. Is there any difference in processing time for an in-person vs postal submission? Would appreciate any...

Hi there I am cutting and pasting what I wrote in my DO thread.... **************************************** The interview process was pretty straightforward. My appointment was at 9:30, reached there at about 9. Went through the security etc. Then walked to the info pass area by mistake ( the...

Hi tejasp Yes - that's a standard format for the YL for speeding tickets. Take certified copies of the court disposition letters again with you. The IOs will most probably mark it off saying speeding tickets or something like that. So it's nothing to be alarmed about. Good luck with...

Hi I was past my 5 year mark when I applied. My spouse applied 90 days from the 5 year anniversary. SO you could probably apply now.
