i believe if you visit http://www.cgisf.org, it details all the required documents.
If you go in person, you don't need to get the PP copy for both you
and your spouse notarized.
not your fault since probably when you applied, they never stated in the FAQ that children of Indian citizen can't apply for OCI. They seem to have added it recently in the FAQ..A friend of mine's child application was also rejected on the same basis and I believe he had the earlier version of...
If you don't see anything in the next 2 weeks as well, the OCI cell at SF should reply to your query.
It's 12 weeks after they receive the OCI application that they respond to the applicant's query in case the applicant have not heard anything back.
Looking at the SF consulate website, there doesn't seem to be any indication relating to this in the near future. On that basis,you are all set to apply for PIO. But I believe that for adults, you will be spending more money for PIO and then PIO --> OCI conversion rather than applying for OCI...
Yup..only apply for the minor if one of the parents is eligible to apply for OCI. Just got information from a friend, whose minor's OCI application was rejected as a result. (since both my friend and her spouse are still Indian citizens)
typically every Friday afternoon, they update the SFO consular website and so if
you don't see your name this week, it's bound to be there next week since it takes 5-7 days for documents to reach SFO from Delhi based on historical case data for SFO OCI applicants.
Both the Kids stated above in my earlier post had PIO.
rgdless, I send everything. I don't think just because you are PIO card holder, you
don't need to send copies of your parent's Indian passports and other related documents. Just follow the standard protocol in terms of required documents...
absolutely agree.
Just take a 6 month visa or longer depending on how long you are going to stay there and thereafter when you come back you can apply for OCI.
Indian government doesn't recognize "DUAL CITIZENSHIP" in true sense.
Using Indian passport to enter India while still holding any other non-Indian
passport may be considered as a punishable offense AFAIK.
If you enter India using Indian passport that information is saved in the customs...
I am sure you meant "cancel" your Indian passport. Except for one post on the NY forum here wherein the individual's passport was not returned, I believe if you send in the passport for cancellation to the nearby Indian consulate, they will cancel it and send it back to you. (assuming you also...
Based on the observations of the approved OCI postings
webpage, the SFO consulate typically updates the webpage
every Friday noon time. I bet your name should show up
since your OCI documents were dispatched from Delhi
on 12-AUG-2006.
Good luck !!!
That was sometime ago. I have received the OCI card and visa stamp 2 weeks ago as of today. Thanks for sharing the information.
In my case, I had the bank issued a cashier's check (from Wells Fargo)
and they gave me a number for the clearing house to call wherein
I punched the check no and...
Not sure as to why the consulate won't return your cancelled
passport. I send the same to the SFO consulate 3 months ago
and they send it back in 3 days.
May be you should contact them in case they forgot it :)
Never know when you require it for any misc purpose
in the worst case...
1. yes correct for the photos
2. No. I just replied this on another thread which you posted.
Just pay the extra $15 charges now along with OCI fees.
The SFO folks will mail using their own envelope and 2nd day air
shipment.
For my minor kids (one 5 yr old who could sign his name and another 2.5 yrs old whose thumbprint was taken), I send the following
- US passport 2 copies (1st page self-attested by me on son's behalf)
(copy of first 2 and last 2 pages only)
- My Indian...
