Hi there,
I’m planning to move to India in April’07. I got US citizenship and got OCI. Just curious if any one want to share their experience regarding move.
1. Relocation to India movers any advice who are the best.
2. Mailing address does USPS redirect mail to Indian address.
3. Do we need to notify DMV, SSN and other address changes.
4. If I earn in Rs in India should I still file tax in US with no income?
5. Do I need to register at US Consulate at Chennai ?

Pl. share your experiences any other information is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Sd-RAM

No idea about movers - search for websites for "return to india" - i had a roommate who moved back and he got together with a bunch of people online and they together got a container on a aship to India.

USPS does not forward mail outside the US. There are private services that do this but I am not sure they are available in all cities.

There is no need to inform the DMV or others. In time, you will have to deal with the fact that your DL will expire which is, in itself, not a big deal - you can drive with an international permit when you visit the US

You need to file a US return. There is a foreign income exclusion (~80K USD) that you won't owe US taxes on - after that it get complicated - you have to pay US taxes but you get some benefit for foreign taxation as well as any tax treaty benefits.

Registration at the US consullate is voluntary - you can do it online. It is meant for your prrotection - in case of natural disasters, civil unrest and such - the US consulate may help evacuate US citizens

All,
Wealth of information about move. I’m looking into following shipping companies, please advise which one is good and any feedback/comments/tips etc.,.
I got quote for $5400 door to door from San Diego to HYD/B’lore including packing, loading all included + 2.5 % insurance.

- Global Ocean Freight, Inc.
- Air Ocean Land Transport Logistics Inc.
- Air7Seas
- ky2c
- East meets West Relocation

It would be nice we could start some kind of rating system for movers also.
Any information in this regard is greatly appreciated.

-Thanks
