Dear Friends, I need some advise. I was planning on R2I with US Citizenship in June 2008 in time for my kids' school year start in Bangalore. Now, it looks like our interview won't happen until May 2008. I cannot send the children to India by themselves. Can you suggest some ideas for what I can do? Esp. information about following options would really help:
Option 1. Can I show some emergency to get my interview date pre-poned? I want to get my OCI before I go.
Option 2. Send my wife and kids to India, I will be here (very painful because my job will require me to be in India) until the interview and have my wife fly to US just for interview. She will however not be able to return until she gets her US passport and Indian visa/OCI. If she gets an Indian visa, can I apply for OCI from within India? I cannot make my children come back to US until their Dussera (Indian festival) break. They have secured admissions in a very good school and I cannot risk losing that school because I have got it with great difficulty.
I am in a big dilemma because USCIS has become very slow. Can somebody please give me some suggestions and advise?
Thank you very much,
An Indian Living in Waltham.
