    beaten to pulp beyond death this traffic ticket issue has beaten to death and beyond death to after life too. In short if you do not have a Felony charge don't bother, its not worth mentioning. If you do mention then have the documentation in order to backup eveyhting you have disclosed.

    Misc. OCI Application Questions

    It depends I guess there is no standard answer to this question. By an large it is expected to be done in a month however there are cases where people have been in Limbo over 1.5 months or even 3 months to complete processing. In my case I filed on Jun 28 and the website says granted and...

    OCI - New York Tracker

    No I am not... I am not a PIO card holder at all... The only difference is that I sent my old pasport for cancellation with the OIC application. I included a MO for 6$ for returning my cancelled passport which I am yet to get back. I don't think that should make a difference, however the...

    OCI - New York Tracker

    That is a exepcted response.. I agree with you, it looks like just a hand few applicants who have already had a PIO card seemed to have got a OCI rather quickly.. All other cases seem to be like most of us waiting with Zero service support of any kind....

    photos stapled

    If You have send additional photos.. Ok if you have sent 3 additional photos I think you don't have to worry. They can sure use these photos if the staples damaged the ones that you stapled. I also saw some other post where someone posted saying that they had sent in photos with white...

    OCI - New York Tracker

    I see your point of view.. Ok I see what the Notary did. Basically all she is saying is that she is certifying my signature and my statment. So its probabily an indirect way to notarize the document. I never thought of that loop hole. I think you can speak to the Bank, if they scream about...
