Usually, they return it along with your US passport. Sometimes, if the guy processing it is lazy, he/she will simply send your US passport back. If that happens, you have to call Travisa and pursue it with them. They will ask you to send another prepaid envelope to return the Indian passport. It...

Travisa recommends any mail option that is trackable. They really dont care if it is UPS or FedEX or USPS. The priority mail with delivery confirmation fits their criterion.

Its a grey area. Never seen an instance like that. Sorry. I used the mobile number field but never got any text message regarding status. Got only email messages. Used USPS priority mail with delivery confirmation (tracking number) envelope. It reaches in 2 days. Inexpensive and best in my...

Is anything happening? This thread is quiet for a long time. Aren't people applying for OCI thru NYCGI?

My son recently applied for OCI and they accepted the photos taken at CVS pharmacy (regular US passport photos with white background).

My wife sent her application on 27th August and still no acknowledgement. It doesn't look like NY consulate is working on OCIs at all. No way to get in touch with them. Emails are not responded to and phones are hopeless.

They return the passports using first calss (per your classification - ordinary mail) mail. It costs them couple of buks. Charging $20.00 is absolutely ridiculous. Hey thats life! is it not?

Yes it works. I did use postal MO back in Feb 06.

They are interested in $20. Though they use just the regular first class mail (costs about $3) to return your docs, they demand $20 for it. So, you will be pissing them off if you choose to send pre-paid self addressed envelope. They may give you hard time for doing that. It is not worth it...

You do need to send the kid's GC along with birth certificate and the parent's original naturalization certificate with the kid's passport application.

Relax dude! It is not even couple of months since you applied. There are folks waiting for much longer period. Have patience.

Dude, this is serious business. Consult an immigration lawyer if you are serious about the citizenship process. I understand you have some reservations about revealing the facts of your case. I am not finding fault with you for that. This public forum is not the avenue for advice in your case...

My wife's experience is exactly what Caramuru had.

Oh I see. Thanks for clearing it up. I learnt something new. Both of my boys (17.5 and 15 years) got their citizenship thru me back in 2006 and I was not aware that the child citizenship law had a beginning date nor was I interested in researching it as it was not of interest to me. I love this...

How is this 'Feb 2001' playing a role in this case? His mom got her citizenship in 1997 when the guy was 17 years old. I thought he is an eligible candidate for deriving his citizenship thru his mom. His step father not adopting him or his mom's marriage in 1989 has nothing to do in his case.

Poor quality was not due to technician's fault or the equipment's fault. It was the bad ridges on the fingers. The scanner was not able to pick up the prints in an acceptable way because the fingers did not have well defined ridges. Even the manual prints would have been rejected as the maual...

My wife had her prints rejected due to poor quality. USCIS scheduled a 2nd FP within two weeks time and the prints were rejected again. Then she received a letter asking her to get the police clearance from all the places she lived in the last 5 years.

Hey Atlanta, I just realized that today is your oath day. How did that go? Anyway congratulations! Go celebrate it man.

So that should restore peace in your mind unless you also try to achieve hair splitting accuracy on the minor traffic traffic ticket issues like few folks do around here. Be practical in thinking. I know the language used in explaining the citations is not bullet proof and is quite fuzzy. That...

Dude, stop imagining things. If INS is determinied to deport you, they can find (fabricate) anything against you. But why would they do it? Unless you are in their suspect list of some sort why would they go after you? Don't they have anything else to do? Stop splitting hair on the minor traffic...
