This is from the email I received from the Indian Consulate after the OCI was granted (approved): 3. If you find that your OCI documents are not printed after three weeks of granting your application, then there is a problem with your photo. Since the photo is not as per the specifications...

I second that opinion about epassport. It has worked great for our pictures in US passport (2 inch x 2 inch) as well as OCI size with light blue background (photos scanned and approved already). You just have to follow their instructions for taking pictures. For OCI pictures, I bought a light...

Just wanted to update that we received the surrender certificates and Indian PPs in mail on 8/14, a month after sending it on 7/14 to the Chicago consulate. I see that they had it stamped on 7/23, but didnt send it until now. I did send them an email a few days ago; maybe that triggered the...

I have sent the application for surrender certificate on 7/13/2010 to the Chicago consulate. No response or updates yet... starting to get worried they may have misplaced it. Signing a piece of paper and returning it shouldn't take that long. I am thinking it would have been worth the effort to...

I did not send any tracking envelope with it. I believe that's what the $20 mailing charges are for. They are supposed to use their own envelope to mail it back. $20 is more than enough for sending it overnite, although I am pretty sure they will just send it first class and use the opportunity...

I sent a single cashiers check and both applications in the same envelope on 7/14. I used paper clips to make the separation between the two applications. I also included a cover letter explaining the breakdown of amounts and how it totals up to $370. Hope they will be sensible enough to process...

Got our passports.. moving on to the OCI forum :)

People who have received citizenship after June 1, 2010, can you please advise? 1. If I need to send the surrender certificate for self and wife, can I send in the same packet? 2. For mailing, will the fees be (175 + 175 + 20) single draft payment OR (175 + 20) two drafts? 3. Do they take...

Thanks for the info.. just checked the form. Seems to be a straight forward process.

how about you publish the link to the site right here.. would be much easier for folks as well as you.

During our oath ceremony for citizenship, they advised people to get their status changed in Social Security office from Permanent Resident to Citizen. Has anyone done this or know the process - whether its online or we need to call them up? I Couldnt find much information on ssa.gov or on this...

Completed Oath Ceremony yesterday and applied for passport today. Oath ceremony was fun... lots of humor and congratulations all around the room filled with 90 new citizens. Its something about the ceremony process and the colorful naturalization certificate that makes one feel really proud to...

That's correct. We had our interview on 6/2 and got the oath letter right after it. Its scheduled for tomorrow at the Federal Court house in Detroit.

I have oath ceremony in the Federal court in a couple of days. Any clues based on your experience as to how long it should take? I've taken about 3 hrs off from my work, and its close to where I work, hope its sufficient time. Are minor kids allowed there and are we allowed to take a toy or...

Went for our interview today... questions were exactly the same as VYLE.. must have been the same sheet. #5 in his list was who is the head of the executive branch? The IO seemed to be in a hurry as we were in the last slot for the day. She breezed through the N400 and asked only for DL, GC &...

I and my wife went for interview today and got oath date for next Thursday, June 10 at US Federal Court in Detroit. All people that I saw being interviewed there were being given the same date/ time and location. That being said interview process was pretty straightforward, it took less than 10...

seems like a lot of people are getting their oath done on the same day after the interview. is this a new trend or specific only to certain DO's? maybe we should plan for a longer stay at the USCIS office (interview + oath) since we have to leave the kids with someone..

Recvd my Interview Letter in the mail yesterday... scheduled for 6/2... long wait... :(

She lost her GC while outside the country. We had to get a travel letter from the US consulate for the airlines and then they made her file the I-90 GC renewal form upon arrival at port of entry.
