Did you apply for SC as well ? Vellabadu, Did you apply for surrender certificate also ? that might be on the one taking longer at consulate and until then travisa not going to issue entry visa for you. post more details..plz

Thanks SGSNATHAN for your replies. Yeah..Surrender certificate is taking longer time I think. I heard you have to carry either surrender certificate or cancelled indian passports when you travel. You may want to check on them to be sure. Have a good trip and congrats on your OCI.

Tom_n Jerry..Please see my signature. I sent on 8/31/2010.

I got my SC done. I sent on Aug 31st . I was told it takes only 2 weeks. finally got renunciation certificate after 2 months.

Did you apply after you received your surrender certificate ? It is very tough to contact them. I posted their direct contact number. Please verify.

Thanks redforgreen. I heard, when you apply together (incase of VISA, PIO etc) it is better. Ofcourse, you cannot apply together with OCI. best bet would be talk to OCI boss (in the above given number) and follow what he says.

a) Yes. SC is must for U-Visa, OCI Cert, PIO card process and even for Entry Visa. b) $20 return mailing fee is when you sent Renun application alone, as they would have to send your cancelled passport and certificate back. In your case, you are sending US passports also for U-Visa stamping...

Thanks Liveandletlive. That means, even when you apply with Surr Cert, it is talking more than 3 months processing time. I wonder if PIO card process is any faster. I have to think whether I need to go for VISA or PIO once I get my surr cert in hand.

I have been talking to one girl in CGI Houston in Renun dept. She mentioned that fact. I know for sure, you have to send together if it is VISA. I think that is same with PIO card also, as one of my friend experienced. while applying for OCI, you might have to complete renun first and then apply...

I am under CGI Houston, and i think Vivek is right. But I suggest RIAKUSHI to go for VISA along with surr cert. as delays seems to be increasing for OCI process. (don't know much about SFO, but Houston sucks...)

Agree with GC4US. The fee is $20 if Nat. Cert shows oath date on or before May 31st 2010. As per as applying for Surr Cert along with OCI or PIO, It is better to apply together. I applied separately and my surr cert is not yet come and CGI Houston never ack my OCI application and now sending it...

sgsnathan and liveandletlive, you guys applied for Surrender certificate also along with OCI ? I applied in June and mine got returned as I was told to apply once I get surr cert. Though my surr cert is in process, they don't want to wait untill then

it is taking more than 2 months now. They are giving preference for renun apps applied along with VISA..PIO etc. Mine is standalone and revd by Houston on Aug 30th. I am still waiting......

Withdraw your application / you might get it back Pete Panara, I am in same boat. They are holding applications for 3,4 months and sending back saying there is no Surrender certificate. Though my surrender certificate is in process, they didnot bother linking those two. They want me to send...

Hi.. Baski seems to be expert. Good job Baski answering questions like this. How is the life going on?

Local transfer question. Hi Mrs. Baski, I have a question about u r local transfer.. I read that had a local transfer case. One of my friend needs help on this. After you got a letter that it is transfered, how you managed to transfer it to the place where u live? U r reply appreciated...

Hi Guys, After long journey, my case got approved 3 months back and my wife's case is still pending. I applied EAD only once for her along with 485 application. She got AP twice and second one also expired. As we don't have any plan to travel to india now i didn't apply for her 3rd AP. She's...
