OCI Completed OCI completed for my spouse. One issue I noticed was that the Indian passport wasn't stamped with a cancellation notice. Oh well.... Just a piece of advise. Take it for whats it worth: Don't get too caught with your processing time. It will happen sooner or later. For some...

Hey Guys, Can you guys not use this thread for whining? If you need to rant - can you do it in a separate thread? And try not to use people's name in here especially when you plan to abuse them. The Embassy is very clear that 1. It takes about 12 weeks to process OCI. You can send inquiries...

Wouldn't it be ironic if somebody is asked about Freedom of religion in civics test and has then problems at ceremony because they atheists and choose not to say "so help me God" in oath? The truth is founding fathers were very clear on what freedom of religion. I wouldn't go to wing nuts or...

I haven't used the family option but my advise is to treat it like two separate applications. Two sets of Part A and B and supporting documents for each applicant. A extra copy never hurts.

Oath Ceremony in Soutport If any body is scheduled for oath ceremony for Jan 27th in Southport NC and live in the triangle, please respond.

While I agree with responses on the thread, I think you should find out first if you were required to pay FICA at each job. There are certain situations and certain employment positions that don't require you to pay FICA. Of course, you don't get benefits of FICA in future either. Another...

cpzinga: thanks. I did send a simple 1 page cover letter stating the obvious and requesting them to return my canceled Indian passport along with US passport and OCI card. I also included a print out of the online status.

Ginnu, I don't disagree with gist of what you say but you were wrong (period) to tell me not post wrong information. It contradicts what you think but it doesn't mean I am wrong. Since you cannot believe that a lowly clerk in Indian Embassy can make sense, I am posting some links with...

Ginnu, Try to re-read post before you react. And do watch your tone and words. I DIDNT say people without FRRO had problem at immigration. I SAID they were asked for FRRO registration and departure statements. Even if "your friends" didn't have problem, it means nothing. The world is...

It is not very clear whether it is required or not. The fact is that you hear different answers from different people. There have cases where departing minors have been asked for FRRO registration and departure declaration by Indian Immigration when leaving India after a presence of more than...

You surrender your GC at oath not your Indian Passport.

Your timing kind of confirms that RDU DO is moving based on RD not FP completion date. Your interview date will mostly likely be in Feb 2nd or 3rd week ( 5-6 weeks after email ). that's a total of 4 months from RD.

Don't get me wrong. I am not trying water on your parade here. With just couple of posts, you are asking for a lot, to trust you with an executable. With online tools already available, why would anybody take the risk of dealing with a executable from a unknown person? And N-400 test isn't GRE...

How do you plan to prove residency requirements for N-400? I ask because you state you have already moved out of US. If SS is paid to only GC holders and USCs, you may not get any benefits if you lose your GC by breaking residency requirements. You might get benefits based on your husband if he...

And file a false police report about it? Please don't use this forum on advise somebody to participate in a criminal activity.

This is typical ham-handed and illogical decision from Indian Govt. To compound this poor decision making, there is no clarity and implementation is right away without the slightest consideration of how it affects people. It is just not only visitor visa. Even PIO holders are possibly affected...

5 months for processing means that applications are taking less than the USCIS goal for processing time (which is 5 months). The actual processing might take 2,3,4 month but it is still listed as 5 months in processing time frame. My point was the actual processing time seems to be a 4-5...

Seems like cases in Durham DO are processed according to RD not FP completion date. The processing also seems to have slowed down to 4-5 month timeline for entire process. They will be exceptions (like always). This is MHO.

yes Bob - Things seem to have changed for the better. The DO boss mentioned that RDU DO has processed 10000 natz cases in year and half or so of its existence. That is more than 500 natz a month. if true - thats pretty impressive for a new DO.
