Konig - I understand what you are trying to say. My question was more associated with how airlines deal with them and given that there are no immigration checks during departure from the US, the onus is on the airlines to ensure that you are legal in the US (or report it if you are not) and...

Thanks Guys. Triple - I can see why they wouldn't care about Canadian citizenship cause they have no I-94 to worry about. My concern is more about a UK passport for which they ask an I-94 and then if I show US Citizenship, they will ask why we don't have the visa on the US passport...

Hi All: Have a situation - my spouse has dual citizenship - US/UK. We live in the US. We became citizens just a few months ago. Since the UK passport already had a valid Indian visa, we did not bother getting another visa to India on the US passport. We are travelling tonight to India and...

Not to scare you, but FYI - my brother in law holds citizenship of a European country (born there) and also applied for PIO from Chicago. It took over 2.5 months for his PIO to come back. The reason - the consulates in US will not process the PIO. They forward it to the Indian consulate in...

ALL DONE! I received mine and my son's OCI docs (passport + book) this afternoon. My experience wasn't as bad, except for Travisa taking 4 weeks to open the application, and they sending me an email that passport was sent when in reality, FEDEX picked it up the next day. But overall, I think...

@stcroixman - I had applied for my SC back in March and the return was through UPS (not USPS). I received an email from them confirming return on passport at 10:37 am, and received the package the next day at 11:31am. The tracking on UPS was never updated until the package was delivered...

As long as you want. OCI is like a green card to India.

@stcroixman - Mine is FEDEX. since I got the email late in the evening yesterday, I believe the pickup is scheduled for today. So at this point, the tracking is not yet active. I am assuming it will be active as of this evening and I will receive it tomorrow. Will keep you posted.

medha2008 - I am in the same boat as you. However, a friend of mine who has the same exact date (recd June 15) received an email this morning confirming that the passport is being mailed out to her. It looks like they are moving on this now and hopefully, we will have ours mailed out to us by...

@bmtd18 - I applied back in May, so had already sent it in my original package. The status page on Travisa changed on June 15 and started showing that they have already received the passport and will match up the visa. Not sure about going there personally and getting it done.

From what I have been told (by both Travisa and CGINY), for any consular service, you will need either a copy of your surrender certificate, or your cancelled Indian passport. In your case, since your child will be applying based on you being a previous Indian citizen, they will ask you for...

See below. Also, you can lookup your application number on the Online OCI Enquiry website by clicking on the "Forgotten Registration No? Click Here". You will need to provide your US Passport # and your date of birth.

just fill the travisa order form carefully. At the end of the process, it will tell you the exact amount you need to send (1 money order / demand draft / cashiers check), as well as the documents you need to send. Print it out and start ticking it off as you accumulate the required document...

n171n - look at the Travisa status page... read the top section..... it's right there!

I did the same - passport photographs from CVS pharmacy (with white background). Seems to have worked just fine. My status now is PRINTED! So yes, I would think that it works.

Sanket - go here http://www.immihelp.com/tracker/india-trackers/oci-tracker.do to get an idea.

I believe you can apply in person but you will need to take an appointment. I sent it in by mail and had no problems. I know of several others who have done the same. Except in one case where there was confusion on the amount due, every other case went off fine. But if you work close to the...
