No I did them separately. Surrender Certificate took 2 weeks. the dates are in my signature. Including surrender certificate it took about 4 months. I didn't send my kids PIO cards with the application. So that delayed the process quite a bit. good luck emno!

Finally received our OCI cards and Stamped passport. Finally done with immigration stuff. Thanks to this forum and it's members for the moral support :) Good Luck! If you need any info please PM me. Thanks

Congrats! Good for you :) Enjoy your India trip.

Lol, thanks. I really didn't want to do that :-)

Finally our OCI has reached NY! Dumb question for those of you who mailed their US passport for stamping. How do send a express mail envelope inside another express mail envelope? Is it ok if we just send the mailing slip? The envelopes are free why can't they just get it from USPS...

Yes, we took our (family of 4) photos at Costco. No problem.

Our OCI cards got printed today. Looks like mine is going to be like misc_chic's application. The print date changed again to 11/23

Thanks

Congrats Sunny! What all did you send? 1. Passports 2. Printed confirmation from website 3. Return USPS mailing slip?? what else? Thanks

which passport are you taking about? Indian? Did you send your passport to get surrender certificate? If you are just going to Singapore you don't need US passport, just US passport should be good.

Sorry I should have been more specific, I am talking about property in USA, not India. Thanks

Ours was finally acknowledged today (11/03). Not sure if it helped but I kept sending emails every other day. Exactly 2 months. They received the application on 09/02. This was bothering me a lot. Hopefully things will start moving from here. Thanks for all your support.

Hi abn400, good to hear from you. My timeline should have looked like yours too :) Good luck!

I called every number listed here http://www.indiacgny.org/php/showContact.php?linkid=196&parentid=0 A lady answered when I called Ambassador Prabhu Dayal's (Consul General) number (212) 774-0601 She said there is a huge back log, especially because the photo machine and website was down for...

OMG! that sucks. I hope that's not true.

I called (212) 774-0627 and Mr. Bajaj answered. He basically said he doesn't deal with OCI and asked me to call (212) 774-0647. I keep calling that number but nobody answers that phone. there is voice message feature either.

I emailed them Sunday. No response yet. I also call the phone number listed on the web site, no answer. :confused: :mad: :(

Thanks Ashok, I will do that.

Anybody can help with contacts? thanks in advance.
