    Money transfer to India

    I'll be travelling to India soon on my OCI. I want to take at least $5k for my (and relatives') expenses there. But I may not spend it all, depending on the circumstances. I do not have a bank account in India, not even the non-resident type ones. I think there's more than one kind of such...

    OCI - New York Tracker

    Picked up OCI from CGINY It was *decided* by my family members that I would have to personally pick up the OCI and not take the mail route with the travel to India so close. After taking sick leave from work :cool: I could only get to the basement of the Consulate 7 mins after 11 am. Blame...

    OCI - New York Tracker

    Thank you, kagemusha. So, from what you're saying, the US and Indian PP copies need not be notarized by a Notary! Wow.. that does save me a lot of trouble looking for a notary in the area. Just self attesting all the PP copies (i.e. all pages that were required to be copied), serves the...

    Congrats Jyotsna! She should be getting her SSN soon. If you don't get anything 6 - 8 weeks after arrival, try to get in touch with the local SS office. Better yet, call the 800 number first to see what they have to say.

    Thanks much, azguy for the prompt response. Yes, it is the Welcome Notice. Hoping to get the GC or some other info from USCIS in the next two weeks. I can't begin to say how useful this forum is, at times like this, when some one has a question. Once again, thank you!
