I am speaking about getting VISA Appintments in Chennai.
I know that the System is supposed to be fool proof. I believe it it and walk the strait line. I also pride in being am American.... however I cannot believe what I have seen.
When the interview dates are clogged for the next 6...
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.
Picked up my OCI
Showed up at the NY Indian consulate ( chaos as usual). Went to Information and asked to go to counter #7, dropped off my US passport and a printed copy of my OCI approval.
Was asked to return at 12:30 noon, got to the counter at 12:35 and the lady just showed up and started...
Jusy checked OCI arrived..
I check the website and it indicates that the card has arrived in NY. So i will try to stop by sometime tomorrow and get it stamped, thats a lot cheaper than mailing it in...
Expecting mine next week
I checked the numbers that the numbers very closed to mine have arrived this week so I expect mine to be in the next week's batch.
What I don't understand is that it was approved on July 13 and mailed on July 18th. how long does it take. :D
How do they send it is...
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...
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...
Finally someone responsed...
I drop the Indian Consulate a mail however there was no response, so called them and was not able to speak to anyone... only option was to leave a message. So I left a message... suprise,suprise.
They called me after 4 days...
They got my details over the...
Which Senetor in NJ
Just wanted to know the following about approaching a Senator.
1. who was the Senator in Nj?
2. Did you call his office?
3. Did you write a letter / email a letter.
4. Did the senetor office mail letter directly to consulate or send it to you.
Please provide...
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....
Indian shining --- Decide for yourself
- No response, no acknowledgment either on cancellation of my passport /OCI application
- Web site says "NOT Acknowledged"
- The calls do not reach any live person, recorded message says check site for status.
- Calls in the morning say call in the...
Something is really wrong..
This friday will be one month since they recieved my application.
I check the web site and it still says this application has not be acknowledged. So something seems wrong here, no email, no letter nothing.
I am going to call them this afternoon as they say...
What happened to my application..
My application was send on June 28th. Today is July 20th and I don't have even an aknowledgment yet.
Looks like they just thew my application away, a lot of people applying after me seems to have got their acknowledgment.
I sent my passport for...
Maybe NY is not that fast after all..
I applied on Jun 28th but still have not got at acknowledgment even so maybe NY is not that fast.
It also seems from desi111's post that it took him about 3 months... :mad:
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...
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...
How did you miss that..
It clearly said "DO NOT STAPLE". It also said that a number of applications are pending due to incorrect photos. You should have been a little more cautious, anyway it too late now.
I would suggest that you either call them or wait for them to call you.
I think...
That is correct...
I notarized the copies in New York, I don't think she notiarized "AS TRUE COPY". She clearly started saying "SEEN ORIGINAL" I don't know what that means. Is it legal I don't know...
Its like, they say "DO NOT PHOTOCOPY THE GREEN CARD" but then its the very same department...
Notarizing didn't cost me a dime
I have an account with Citibank and all I had to do was walk down to my branch and ask for the papers to be notarized.
The Lady asked me to write "Seen Original - Certifying the copy is as per original & sign" and she notarized with her signature and notary...
Seems like..
From some of the most recent posts it seems like anywhere between a week to 10 days.
I would say business days not just elapsed time. I am still waiting.
