Philly Dude - the police report is quite easy to get. I did that once when I had to get a new Indian passport when I misplaced my Indian passport last year. I just went to the local police station, and told them I have lost my passport and have no recollection of where and how it was lost...

I am in NJ, not too far from NYC. I am just going to give it some more time first, because there is little point in spoiling a day for this. I am not even sure if visiting would help because if they would even let me in for something for which their process says email/snail mail. So we will...

My app was sent 06-Sep and acknowledged on 03-SEP-2010 and still pending. Again, same problem, they have all the original documents, my Indian passport for cancellation, and also both my kids' PIO cards. I would like to travel, but I don't think I can. Just stuck. I have written to them, by...

What a difficult situation to be in. I submitted my OCI + Indian passport surrender application together over two months ago. My kids' PIO cards (original) were also sent with the application. The thing is, till this is sorted, I can't travel to India. Not sure how long we will stay in this...

Well, I just sent out my SC and OCI applications together to CGI-NY; following the instructions on their website. I hadn't read this forum. Will let you know what happens.

Thanks Vyle. I feel for you GCdetails. It is sad that something which should have been a celebration in our lives has been turned into torment by apathetic bureaucrats. But in the end, it will work out for you and your wife as well. The sad thing is that as time goes by & when we will...

Last update on this thread: Did the oath today. I told them about my traffic ticket, appears that I was the only one with a traffic violation. The guy wrote it down on the oath letter and put it in a different pile (a pile of one essentially), and asked me to go wait and an officer would call...

Already updated in a separate thread, also posting here in case someone refers to this months/years later and wants to know what finally happened. --- I received the oath letter today for the 18th of June 2010. No N-14 or RFE was ever received. I suspect having sent a letter through a...

Okay, quick update: I received the oath letter today for the 18th of June 2010. No N-14 or RFE was ever received. I suspect having sent a letter through a lawyer, and the G-28 probably indicated that I am serious about pursuing this - though of course it could have been something else...

Thanks. I will check it up. I intend to move sooner than the 1447 can be filed and resolved. If I file, and then move, then there will be the question of which fderal court has jurisdiction etc, and the court in Connecticut may throw it out as belonging to New Jersey. I guess I should...

When you say that updating address is more than just filing AR-11, do you mean there is something else to be done? What would that be? Tks.

Sorry for the delayed response, I was away over the weekend. No I never got an N-14, absolutely nothing so far. No letter, no information, and I think the delay is just due to malice on part of the immigration officer who did not like my face. I sent them two letters, just with regular first...

Hello folks, would anyone have a view on this?

I was interviewed for my N-400 in Jan-2010 (story in an old thread), and so far I haven't received a decision from USCIS. In the meantime I changed jobs so now while I live in CT, my new job is in NJ - in short, one terrible commute. For the past many months I decided to stay put in CT till...

There is a dual taxation avoidance agreement (DTAA) between India and the US that allows taxes paid to the Indian government to be claimed against the taxes due in the United States. This provision, plus the first 90k or so being free from US tax for US citizens residing abroad, provides some...

About 80 days thus far. Different story each time. 1. Called 1-800 number a month after the interview: Grumpy guy says "Wait in line like everyone else..." 2. Called 1-800 number 6 weeks after the interview: Nice guy says "It is waiting for supervisory approval, we don't need any more...

My view is to take things easy and let them take as much time as they like. My biggest fear is that they might send me something, and for some reason I don't receive the mail. Which is why I call once every two weeks or so, and did one Infopass (I will not do another, waste of time, as even at...

Similar situation here: The last I found out from an Infopass for my case was that my application was awaiting supervisory approval. It has been close to 2 1/2 months now, I was interviewed in Jan. Still waiting.

Hartford, CT

Oh yeah, lots of people in the same boat as you. I have been waiting for more than 2 months, no news, no update, zippo.
