I would just go with fedex ground with own packaging. Believe me the cost would be almost same or even less than USPS with add-on services like certified,delivery confirmation etc.
Just create a FedEx account and you can print the shipping label including the prepaid one. Choosing own packaging would save some money for you. Yes you would have already paid for them. If you the correct service and weight, FedEx will not charge anything extra.
This renunciation certificate is a joke. It is the same form what you filled will be returned to you with the date stamped on it. But not sure if you are also getting your passport back with it. If it is just the certificate then it is a single paper and you just pay the baseline price for the...
I understand captcha is required to avoid any automated responses/spam. But this ReCAPTCHA you use on your site is terrible and in fact lot of sites use them as well. It is nearly impossible to get it right the first time. It takes me a couple of tries every time. Not sure about others. It just...
If you go through the application flow on travisa site it will take care of everything including the total fees. In fact they have done a decent job in eliminating lot of confusion. You can apply for renunciation along with PIO/OCI and GOI has increased the fees recently. But the certificate is...
It will not be an issue but you pretty much have to go through the same paperwork process as you would for PIO. I would get a visa and apply for OCI instead of going through insane amount of paperwork twice.
Aakash28, this topic is beaten enough in this thread and various others. Looks like you have gone thru' them as well and have your own reasons not to reveal them. I'm sure you are going to get some 'no's and 'yes's like the past discussions. Not sure how it is going to help with your decision.
They usually do it at the ceremony. But if it is like Oakland, you can use only the application(it has a printed seal at the bottom) given at the time of interview. They will not accept printed applications or printed forms you get at post offices/libraries.
Choose a) open a fedex account.
What travisa says is not to use the fedex printed label(which you find in fedex office) where you can specify your credit card for payment. But when you print online using your fedex account, it would not have your credit card information in it.
When you...
usinsuser99,
You can print shipping labels for outgoing and also for return envelopes. Just reverse the addresses for the return shipping label. Even if incorrect weight is specified Fedex will adjust the charges to your account since they have your credit card on file. If you need insurance...
I have used fedex but not sure about ups. Create an fedex account using your credit card and you can then generate shipping labels. Just include the printed shipping label with your documents. Also keep a copy of it like your other documents. Travisa would use their own envelope and stick the...

1. I applied for myself so don't know about it. I know it sucks but I would send them separately if they have specifically asked for it.
2. I don't think they are open on weekends.

If it would make you feel better, I recently got the citizenship with 9 tickets(all < $500) . I don't think they affect your application in any ways. Now whether to mention it in the application or not(or mention it to the IO during the interview) is a highly debatable topic. I will leave it up...
