I took the Amtrak/subway. Manhatten is always crowded so finding a parking is going to be difficult, and I think it is going to be expensive to park in a garage. I decided to go by AMtrak and subway, because it was no hassle, less in expenses when I compared it with driving/ bridge...

Well. They did not ask me or others for Indian passports. I do not know if they have a way of knowing if a person has cancelled a passport or not. Best bet will be to wait. If you live closer to Manhatten, then you may want to try it out, also at the same time get your cancelled Indian...

Wanted to share my experience... Went to NY Consulate today & picked up our OCI (My family did not come with me) Went there at 9.15am, and there was a very long line in front of me (about 50 people), and there was one guy (security) giving token numbers to each one. When I said that I am...

Thanks for sharing the experience. Did you pick up just your OCI or your family as well. I just want to know if they ask for any kind of authroization letter from your wife to get her OCI cards. Also, is there any requirement to collect OCI cards for kids?

Thanks. On Immihelp.org, it says to send cancelled Indian Passports. So, I am thinking of sending my cancelled passports also. How long did it take for you to receive the OCI once you sent it by mail? Also, if I go in person, do I need authorization letter from my wife? you know, it is...

JK, I just checked the web site, and it does not ask for Cancelled copy of Indian Passport, Surrender Certificate. It just says, send US Passports. I did send out Surrender Certificates ($150/each what a waste!!!), and resubmitted my OCI. Can other people who obtained OCI card by mail, tell...

Once again, can people tell me how long it is taking to get the OCI stamped on US Passport if mailed? I live far away from NY, so I prefer to send it by mail. Also, other than US Passports, do I need to send anything else? Thnks.

Do you need to take any other documentation other than US passports?

How long does it take to receive OCI once they receive the US passport Can people tell me how long does it take for the NY Consulate to return the US Passport with the OCI stamp once they receive my passport in mail? Is it 7 days? Mine just today (6/21) got sent from New Delhi to NY...

ABout the $175 fee for that useless SC, I have sent many emails to everyone, and keep sending it on a weekly basis. Obviously, noone has replied it...yet! And I tried calling the emabssy numbers, and as you all know, no one picks up!! In my next mail, I am going to ask for the contact for the...

I do not see any info about the refunds . Anyone has any info? Also, I am just curious on how many people have paid $175/each to get the SC that is not required at all any linger. I mean people who obtained SC by paying $175. Is there a way to get a quick poll to see how many got affected. If...

Here is the message on the web site - They removed the verbiage on already decided cases..... Fees for Obtaining Surrender / Renunciation Certificate In supersession of the rules regarding Surrender/Renunciation Certificate the Government of India have decided as follow:-...

I can not even believe how many times have screwed up! First, they want you to get notary copy of NC. Now they do not. They changed their forms for SC several times. For OCI, they asked to get SC. Now it seems like it is not exactly required. They wanted $175 before for SC. Now, they waive it...

We have to do something...... This is totally ridiculous, unprofessional in saying that they will not refund people who have already been issued SC. Aren't these guys educated? Don't they ask questions when someone comes up with some fancy idea! Don't they take time to study the policy and...
