The Travisa site says OCI application is 40 days from the time they sent to the Indian consulate for NY. Are they processing faster than consulate? Are the visas printed in NY nowadays? I am traveling end of April and have to choose between PIO and OCI, at the same time apprehensive about...

NY Consulate has outsourced OCI./PIO apps. http://indiacgny.org/php/showHighLightDet.php?h_id=171&key=

Thanks! With such high health costs and limited insurance options, how are members handling or planning to cope with the health care costs/issues for parents.

Birth Certificates My parents do not have birth certificate and neither do I. My birth certificate itself was an affidavit from them. Can you let me know what options I have regarding these birth certificates? Thanks

I am in the same boat, sent on Apr 20th no ack yet.

Thanks! You are right, the Houston FAQ does say that. Wish I was livin in TX. Unfortunately NY has outsourced its visa operations and to an agency and they do not deal with U visa and when I spoke to Indian consulate's OCI person, he asked me re apply as stated in #1. 25. Will a new OCI...

Yes, you can do that. Thats universally acceptable for all visas of all countries. You can also transfer your visa to your new passport, even 10 year Indian visa, except for the OCI stamp.

I got a new passport and called up the consulate to transfer the OCI visa from old PP to the new one. Guess what? They have no procedure to transfer OCI visa like other visas, instead I have to apply Part A and Part B just like a new app. It goes to India and comes back just like a new app...

You can move anytime.

PIO, not OCI.

I guess I can answermy own questions: 1. Yes. US Passport agency issued a temporary 1 year passport. They would need to see the naturalization certificate to issue a 10 year PP. 2. Couldnt find any means. Wrote to the Senator and just got an acknowledgement that he would enquire.

Mine is close, mailed on Nov 22, Application with this number not yet Acknowledged

Few months back the GOI did announce that they plan to remove the dual charging system for tourists as this was a discrimination. As usual the wheels of the Govt is slow to move. Atleast they have their hearts in the right place. Wait for 5 more years and we should see this implemented.

Does the acknowledgement come by email or mai?

I wish I had read this thread before applying N565 After naturalization, I went for name change through local courts. I sent N-565 to replace my naturalization certificate which I thought its just a mere formality just like my drivers lic and SS card. Its been over a month now and today I...

In places like Newark name change and oath is all done on the same day, so no hassle at all.

3) Will there be any issues if I take the baby with me to India after 3 months? --> Not as long as you have a visa/PIO card for the baby. 4) Can I apply for OCI on behalf of the baby in India? --> Not sure. As per few posts in R2IClub, offices in India are refusing OCI to the kid stating one...

Yes, you are better off mentioning all tickets and try to get the paid receipts or some proof that you paid the fines. If you applying for N400 based upon 5 years residency and GC through employer, then there should not be any issue. Dont bother of FOIPA about name check, it will not...
