The timelines change without notice, past timelines are no indication of future timelines. If you are a student in one DO, and your parents live in the other DO, I suggest you apply where it is easy for you to complete the process. Convenient to travel for finger printing, interview, oath, etc.

My OCI processing is complete, here is my time line...total time 79 days OCI Application Mailed: 2/2/2009 Date of Acknowledgment: 26-FEB-2009 Photo/Signature Scanned: 13-MAR-2009 Registration Status Granted: 27-MAR-2009 Documents Printed: 30-MAR-2009 Documents Dispatched: 01-APR-2009...

The lady in front of me was turned away from the oath ceremony. She did not bring her Green Card. The IO asked her, "did you loose it, or you left it at home" she said she had left it at home. The IO asked her again...if she lost it, he will let her take oath today, but if she left it at...

Not true IRS web site clearly states "resident alien who is leaving only temporarily, use Form 2063"

Legally yes...but I don't think they enforce this if you are an LPR leaving the country temporarily. check it out here http://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc858.html If you give up your LPR status, and are planning to re-apply for any visa category...your will need it though.

Self Addressed Envelope I see my case status updated as "Documents Received at HOUSTON" When I applied, I sent in extra $20 as mailing fee, and a self addressed envelope. I did not put any stamps on it. Did that need to be "Self Addressed Envelope" or "Self Addressed Stamped Envelope"

yes

I say follow your lawyers advice

I heard in the news, that they expect it to go longer than two months in summer of 2009

Make sure you enter the USAHI** number under the "Online Registration No" and not under the "File(Acknowledgment) No" If that does not work, try sending them an e-mail, or visiting in person. Calling them is useless.

OP The part of the border is where a lot of illegal drugs come into US. I don't think it had anything to do with the passport, my guess it...they were just looking for drugs.

MFJ or MFS does not make any difference, as long as you declared your spuse information on your tax returns. They know and understand that every one's situation is unique and MFJ makes sense for some, and MFS makes sense for others. If the IO was to ever question your MFS...you say...you did...

Looks like things are moving on my Case OCI Application Mailed: 2/2/2009 Date of Acknowledgment: 26-FEB-2009 Photo/Signature Scanned: 13-MAR-2009 Registration Status Granted: 27-MAR-2009 Documents Printed: 30-MAR-2009

Right, Passport proves you are either a citizen or a US National. There are some people who are nationals, but not citizens of USA who have US Passport.

US Citizens, according to international law, have the right to demand to see their Counsel when detained. The counsel may provide legal assistance, and other help to their citizens. By wrongly defining OCI as dual citizenship in some places, Indian Govt. can refuse US consular assistance to US...

Why are you talking about destroying US Government property on this forum? Alteration or mutilation of passport may subject you to prosecution. (Title 18, U.S. Code, Section 1543) Do you have a new American Express credit card, aparking card, or employee ID badge, or toll tag, that has RFID...

Expedited passport - yes, at the post office. "Within 14 days" phrase is used for same day passport service, which is available in a select few cities....by appointment only... http://travel.state.gov/passport/about/npic/npic_898.html

It is not a path to dual citizenship. When you reclaim Indian citizenship, you will be required to renounce all other citizenships you possess.

Why? Yes you will be sent back and asked to bring it to the next oath. For people who have lost GC, they will be expected to provide proof of loss(e.g. police report) and / or proof that you applied for replacement. The IO at the ceremony may let you take a oath.

You can try and mention both the A numbers in the cover letter when you apply for N400. Hopefully they will have both files at your interview location and there won't be any delay. If not, the interviewing officer will realize the missing file, and order that file....adding several weeks to...
