My take on this issue is GOI is valid in putting this rule. Since the child is born to Indian citizens until the age of 18 it has a choice of Indian or US citizenship. That is why it does not make sense to have OCI for a child who could become Indian citizen if she wants to. In USA the...

Got it guys. Both the booklet and the visa.

see my timeline it takes 45 days to acknowledge

It has been 15days and I have not received my passport back.

ABCD refers to American Born Confused Desis. Generally referred to 1st/2nd generation desis in usa. All American Bound Desis are not confused actually many of them become more intune with cultural upbringiing after coming to states. That does not mean they are unpatriotic to USA but they just...

You are right, based on the latest supreme court ruling taking oath of allegiance to a foreign country will invalidate your Indian citizenship. With OCI I dont see a big deal needing Indian Passport.

harry, immigration officers are enforcers of the law and not legislators who make laws. If Visa is required then it is required end of story. Immigration officer could be fired if he let those kids in, did you know that?

Seriousy if you ask me the parents are bunch of morons. Imagine landing in USA without a Visa.

You did not understand his frustration. All PIOs and OCIs are able to get thier spouses and Children added on. But this does not extend to Pakistani and Bangladeshi orgin people. Problem is without any reciprocal program by Pakistan this is not going to happen remember 10million people got...

Congratulations, It looks like Chicago C took just 10 days send yours back.

Unless you are in a absolute hurry why bother. As per Chicago tracker it takes just a week to get it back. Clearly mark your envelope "FOR OCI DOCUMENTS" and that will take care of it. Send you cancelled passport copy or send the uncancelled one for cancellation. If you really feel you...

Try searching this board because my answer is based on one posting. That person received it the same day by paying more.

Granted and scanned to day, thank god.

Dude, Did you read my reply? If you get a PIO, you donot need a visa. You are equivalent to a NRI and can just start working. Try getting PIO.

It does like me and my wife are under processing and all others have been granted. I hope it is not the photos we just sent the US passport size.

You can get a emergency PIO card in a day for some extra fee. Call your consulate and check with them.

Yes and no. Technically they are only worried only about time after Green card and since she was just a beneficiary she will scrutinised less. 99% your wife will not have any problems, if she does get questioned she needs to be truthful. donot lie about it.

I sent a priority mail envelope along with my app and wrote them to send it back in it.
