Thanks for answering the question Andromeda, yes it is a 10 Year Visitors Visa. I was hoping to see if there have been some concrete example or recent real cases where people whose Immigration was being processed (but had prior non-immigration visas or had Visa Waivers) had issues at the POE...

Hello everyone, I know this question might have been asked before, but I could not find this on this thread or the forum, so please do advise me. My MIL's I-130 is going through the CP route and her I-130 has been approved. However, we are contemplating if she could spend couple of months...

I had just $25 family postage charges in the application fee, never sent the self-addressed envelops with the application. However, I did send the self-addressed envelops with the Indian/US Passports when I sent them for the OCI sticker at the embassy (after the tracking confirmed that they...

What a relief SpicyRice, congratulations for not losing your US Passport and OCI. Did you figure out the Apartment Mail issue?

Almost there! gotmycz.... :)

Thanks Scroll and welcome to the OCI thread. Keep on checking the OCI Link provided by akgarg and you should see the ACK of your application in about 2 weeks after mailing it to the Embassy.... Good Luck :)

My interpretation is based on the personal experience and what I have seen recently on this Board (acorss multiple DOs). - No need to mention the minor moving violations on the N-400 (< $500). - However, take a copy of DMV/MVA record (covering last 7 years) - Take the proof of payments...

Good luck spicyrice, please keep us posted.

Congratulations on completing the Citizenship Journey. :)

Atleast the DC Indian Embassy is saying to carry your OCI booklet along with your US Passport (with U Visa). This message is in red bold fonts indicating to do this and avoid "Denial of admission". Website:http://www.indianembassy.org/newsite/oci.asp Message quoted "ATTENTION: IN...

Thank you Colts07, I see that your case is also chugging along. The longest wait is between the ACK date and the Photo/signature scanning date, the rest of the process is pertty much home stretch after that... Good Luck to you.

Thank you very much SriniB, you are next.... just barely two weeks away from your freedom :) The OCI Booklet / U (lifelong Visa) is the most professional looking Indian document that I have ever received from Indian Government.....

Completed my OCI journey today, with Passports/OCI Booklet at home today for me and the spouse. Less than two months (almost) of total processing....... Mailed to Washington DC on: May 27th, 2008 Date Of Acknowledgment: June 10th, 2008 Photo/Signature Scanned: July 3rd, 2008 Registration...

Well, how about taking pictures yourself at home (in a digital camer) against an off-white background and then take it to CVS. Instead of photo studios you can get that done at a fraction of cost (69 cents for 6 ID pictures). I went to multiple photo places (Walmart, Wegmans, Costco, Ritz...

hitraj, I do not think you should be concerned as the OCI was granted by the Indian Government to you. Your daughter should be grand fathered after the rules were defined/changed. Additionally, even now she is legible to get the OCI status since you became the US Citizen. Good luck ....
