Hi:
The application form for the PIO cards says that we need to send 4 photographs, but after reading the detailed instruction I came to know that they need 5 photographs. Which one is correct?
If they need 5 photos, I have already got 4 photos, can the 5 photo be different from the 4...

OCI package returned !!!
After nearly two months, my OCI package was returned due to the fact that I signed on the photographs. It looks like I'm not supposed to sign over the photographs.
I'll reapply sometime this week
Thanks
I am trying to find through the post office if the consulate cashed my money order check. This is the only way I can verify if the consulate received my OCI package.
No acknowledgment yet
I applied at Chicago on July 22nd and so far no acknowledgment. I am travelling to India in December and I am considering to apply for a visa.
colleville,
Did you try calling the consulate to find the status? I am travelling to India in December and if it is taking more than 4 months I better be ready to apply for a visa in November :confused:

Hi himjug
Why don't you apply for PIO card for you son, its faster and cheaper (by around $100). You can always convert from PIO to OCI by paying $25 more later.
Hi Jeshta,
I didn't send my daughter's PIO card along with the OCI application. We are planning to go to India in December and I don't want to apply for a visa for my daughter if OCI is delayed.
Thanks
Hi Jeshta
I got the passport pictures at Costco $4.99/pair. I did not notorize any documents, but self attested in all the copies (basically signed it).
My daughter is 4 years old, so we did the right thumb imprint of her and I also signed it.
There is no fillable pdf form available...

Became a US citizen today
Hello:
Finally became a US citizen today in Detroit. It was a long oath ceremony with around 800+ new citiizens from 82 countries. Eventhough the oath invitation had 9:00 as the start time, but the event started at 10:00am. The experience was same as everyone posted...
Hello,
I have a question regarding the questions behind the oath invitation. Do we need to complete and sign in front of the IO at the oath ceremony or can we complete it before going to the ceremony?
Do they ask for any other documents other than the invitation and GC? Since my mom is in...
