Received our OCI cards/Passport with Visa yesterday..

Our OCI shows up as received from Delhi now.. Will send in our passports for U Visa stamping tomorrow

Also PIO is usually(not always) faster than OCI

I do not think it will be any faster or slower but if entire family is eligible to apply for OCI, it makes sense to send in all applications as family. If not anything, its easier, one cashier check for OCI fee and one for mailing fee.

I had sent it via USPS priority mail and it was received by the embassy fine. I find it odd that the embassy would not receive the package. Was it delivered on a holiday or a Saturday? Did USPS say why they would not accept it?

Our OCI applications were finally acknowledged today Nov 19

Applying for self and infant son.. Hi I had sent in my OCI application for myself, wife and infant son back in October to DC embassy. It has not been acknowledged yet but I am thinking they will send the application back since my wife dropped her middle name when she got naturalized leading...

Congrats.. It almost took 5 months for you.. I guess I have long wait ahead:)

My wife has the same issue.. She had her father's middle name in the Indian passport, but she decided to drop it in the Naturalization certificate and hence the US passport does not have the middle name. We went ahead and sent the OCI applications earlier this month without any affidavits or...

Adding my details Sent in OCI applications for self, wife and infant son to Indian Embassy in DC on Oct 6 which were received by the embassy today

Agreed.. I had signed my usual signature(no last name) on the photos during N-400 interview but had signed full name on the naturalization certificate. I was worried a bit when I applied for passport wondering if that would be a problem. But its not. I got my US passport in the mail today

Received passport book.. still waiting for passport card and certificate of naturalization to be returned.

See a status change on DOS website(finally!) Your passport application is in the final processing stages. Your passport application locator number is xxxxxxxxxx. When you applied, you requested Routine Service. This means you should receive your passport on or about 09/06/2009.

Still waiting

During my N-400 interview, the IO asked me to sign the photographs with no special instructions and I signed like the way I normally sign(not full name). But on the naturalization certificate, I signed my full name. From what I understand, it should not matter. I have applied for my passport...

I had sent in my application on July 30(regular) and still waiting(I am in no hurry but would have it sooner rather than later:). Question for those who applied and have already gotten the passports. Did the online status on State department website change for you guys before you received...

I would say it depends on your case complexity. I had a simple case (employment based GC) and all I took was my driver license, passport and green card. At our interview, almost everybody had thick files in their hands. I suppose it does not hurt to carry everything possible to the interview.
