Hi Sunny, Thanks for sharing your timeline and Congratulations. Do you know when were the other milestones achieved in your case. e.g. Photo Scan Also, do you have a sense, how long will it take for you to now physically receive your OCI card. Thanks

Any options? All, I applied for our OCI (me and my family) in August. This included sending original PIO cards of my kids. The only status I have seen so far is acknowledgement on Sept 24th. Given the current situation, I am not sure when it is going to be granted. I need to move back to...

Hi usindus, How did you come to know that the problem has been resolved. Does this mean that all the applications are again being processed. Thanks

Original PIO Card Submitted my OCI application on Aug 17th. No change in online status yet. However got an acknowledgement email from some Mr. Ashok on Sept 3rd. On Sept 11th received another email asking me to send original PIO cards of the kids to the consulate (attn: Priti). I had already...

Part B - Additional Q Hi, Did you see this discrepancy? When I originally filled my application and printed it at the same time, it printed Part A for all family members and a Part B form. There is a question - 16. Does the country of applicant(s) permit dual citizenship in some form...

can I go back somehow and print it again? Or do i have to fill all the info and print it?

Application Form Just filled and printed the application form, After printing I notice that the form is poorly organized. The heading "Form XIX" for the second applicant is on the first page itself. Did I print it wrong? Should I have done some page setup? Also, I don't see a box for...

Hi Mgkrishna, Thanks for reviewing the list of documents. I will include our birth certificates, the marriage certificate and the surrender certificate(how can i forget this) in the list. Do you agree with how the documents are organized. or does it have to be done in some other way?

Hi Amitt, The original PIO card is mentioned at couple of places as part of documents for OCI application on the CGNY site. I am just wondering if there is any merit in not sending the original PIO card(other than the fact that they can misplace it and ask me again when the time comes to...

Hi, Taking a cue from JPBoston's list of documents and reading through the CGNY website, following is what I came up with. Can somebody confirm if this looks accurate. This includes 2 kids that are currently on PIO. Seems like CG NY is asking for original PIO card along with the...

Hi JP, Thanks for your advice. I had filed my SC. Received my cancelled passports and SC yesterday. Now, I am looking to file for my OCI. I just looked at the list of documents you sent - Did you send 4 copies of your Indian passport? Do you really need 4 or 2 will suffice or is this just...

I took the expert advice of this forum and just applied for SC only. Not sure how long this process is going to be. Not sure if you guys saw but CG NY is organizing an OCI camp this friday. Kat999, are you around that area. That might be the time to straighten your process out.

The CG NY website says it takes 7 days for SC but seems like it takes lot longer than that. Kat999 and JPBoston, did you get any response from them on simultaneous filing.(ofcourse it is hard to get them). I like the idea of trackers for SC and OCI

Thanks JPBoston, I guess I will go ahead and apply for SC. A couple questions on docs - 1. For US Passports, it is Pg 2 and 3 with info and pg 28 and back page. Is this correct? 2. Copies of US passports and naturalization certificate for SC - Do we need to self attest it?

Thanks JPBoston. I have sent them an email asking for clarification on this. I will update the forum if I get any responses(although I seriously doubt that they will respond)

Hi JPBoston, When did you apply for your OCI/SC? It might take me a week to get my documents together. Have you heard anything yet from CG NY? Seems like SC is taking a long time too.

OCI Photo Requirements All, I just got my US passport. I just read in this forum that although NY CG mentions about ability of applying for SC/OCI in the same package, it is not recommended. So i think I should just go ahead and get my SC first. Can somebody clarify about the photo...

Hi, I am just starting my journey towards OCI and seems like it is already starting with confusion. A couple of questions - 1. Can I apply for the surrender certificate and OCI at the same time? Or do I need first to apply, receive a surrender certificate and then apply for OCI? 2. My...

Thanks Guys, I need to travel to Canada for work. Once I have the US Passport that should work. Seems like I will not be applying for the passport at the oath ceremony and will call in that afternoon to schedule an appointment at the nearest passport agency. Any specific document to be...

I am in a similar situation. Is there any merit in applying for the passport right after the oath ceremony. Heard that it is the best place to submit passport application documents. And then follow up with the appointment. Or should I just go ahead with the appointment in one of the agencies. I...
