Thanks cafeconleche. I have not received my cancelled INDIAN passport. I just received my American passport and OCI booklet. I had sent them an email, but haven't received any response. Has anyone experienced this? I am thinking of calling them. Please advise.

KCDas / Others Once you apply for OCI, will they return the Indian Passport (with cancel stamp) or they keep it/? Thanks

1AurCitizen Yes, consular process is less headache and problem less. Yes it takes 8-10 months acc, to both lawyers I talked. But I mentally gave an year for this process to complete. Yes lawayers' are not that much useful in this straight forward case. Out of curiosity I asked both lawyers hpw...

With a DEC 19th oath date you have a very good chance to make it. If you get 19th oath date, talk to the passport guys after oath about service times and your impending travel dates. They will advise. I think the passport lady was saying something about that while collecting the passport...
