I used passport card coming back from Mexcio by land, no issues. Actually another guy from my client traveled with me with just a license but he easily passed the "american citizen" test with his looks and accent and was let back in. I was at a border town and wanted to go the other side for...

Filed with Chicago Field Office in Nov, 2010 I filed N-600 for my 13 year old daughter back in Nov, 2010 (receipt dt Nov 24, 2010 and Notice date Dec 1, 2010). All I have got so far is the letter that acknowledges the receipt of the application with the dates. Processing time for Chicago...

Thanks ginnu

1) Copy of BC - it says only if applicant born abroad. I am assuming abroad as outside of india in this instance and this is not required for me, my wiife and one of my kids born in India. Correct? 2) Copy of BC - For my second kid born in the US I am enclosing the US BC - immihelp says to...

I found the issue. It was indeed data. On one of the dates (out of 10 dates - 4 BD's, 4 PP issue dates and 2 PIO dates), I flipped the month and day and the day happened to be > 12. The data was not getting validated while entering it in the family group option unlike in individual option where...

Finally after 5 days there is a message "system is under maintenance, please try after some time". They could have put this message long ago that could have saved all the agony.

Thanks all. I can't even get to print, as soon I as click Save it throws a HTTP 500 error. I have tried in three machines so far, all with IE8.0 and I get the same error. I have been trying for 5 days and no luck. Chicago consultate won't even answer phone. In twelve years of dealing with them I...

You should immediately start the identity theft process. Register a police complaint, call FTC and they will assist you with this (i.e. tell you what the next stpes are). It is important to address this before it gets worse. Fixing identity theft is an expensive, arduous and time consuming...

It is Aishwarya Abishek Rai. I had a similar issue but even worse. My mother's name was A.BBBBBBB at birth. Her name changed to XXXXXX YYYYY upon marriage. But she used her name as C.XXXXXX YYYYY as it common in south India to initialize husband's or dad's first name. Her Indian passport has...
