Yes. Those two are sufficient. Make sure you check and double check the OCI stamp and booklet once you get it. Lot of people had mistakes in theirs when I went to pick up mine.
Also, significant gamble with your original passport getting "lost" at CGNY and causing unnecessary delay (speaking from personal experience). I will be doing this in person.
Has anyone recently visited the NY Consulate to get their US passports stamped with the OCI certificate once it shows that documents have been received at NEW YORK CGI ? I'm skeptical of sending the passports by mail.
What are the documents you carried in person to get the stamp ? Here's...
Had an update today (9/9) : Registration Status Granted. Funny thing is the status date is for tomorrow - so probably done in India - are they working overnight ? :rolleyes:).
Sent on June 4th, recd on June 7th. No response yet - called a couple of weeks ago to find out that my application and passport has been lost !! Now I cannot get to anyone in the consulate - any advice would be appreciated.
My consulate is NY. I only sent a 20$ return mailing fee for two applications - they did not require a return envelope to be sent. Obviously if you send just one 20$ fee, it does not make sense to include two envelopes :)
Didn't take a chance. I decided to apply separately .. have sent the renunciation form today to NY along with a 20$ fee for mailing back the passport/surrender certificate.
I have e-mailed the (useless) people at the Consulate this very same question and have not heard from them. It is unbelievable how completely disorganized they can be. Do they expect people will magically know the answers to these questions without them posting certain guideline ?
New Update to NY site
New update as of noon today (they've removed the earlier link they posted this morning). Still no definite instructions on whether a form needs to be filled, what all needs to be sent in etc. WTF is up with these nincompoops ?
Fees for Obtaining Surrender / Renunciation...
Was going to mail my wife's and my apps today, what luck I checked online before sending it out ! That's 350$ I can put to a better use. I also fall in the "On-or-Before May-31-2010" category. Does this mean I have to get the Surrender certificate before I can apply for OCI ?
gc4us - could you...
