Good luck to you too newhaven.
sd63 ... not sure why these DO's keep posting these dates. They dont follow them. Though they have Feb 23, 2007 - they are actually processing May/June .. right ?
Good luck Rembi! You should get it in a week's time. I don't know whether Hartford is still sending ILs batch by batch.
I have filed my spouse's I-130 in Dec 2007 and it took just less than 2 months to get the Receipt Notice. Now they are current. Then I filed her I-129F, but it was so quick, received the Receipt Notice in a week. Now, another immigraton wait for the approvals. So, based on my experience, immigration never ends
BTW, NY Indian embassy received the OCI certificate from Delhi and I mailed my U.S passport for OCI U sticker stamping. I should get the passport back by the end of next week. Overall, OCI process took 2 months and that immigration journey is ending
We should keep another accounting head, just to keep track of immigration expenses Lack of peace of mind due to immigraton delay cannot be counted, that just reduces the life expectancy
@CTN400, Like you I applied for OCI for my family....took me a while to get the documents straightened and mailed to CGI NY...My OCI docs are dispatched from Delhi today.. Did you not send your Indian PP for cancellation along with your US PP for OCI Sticker? I saw many people do that in the OCI forum.
Good to see so many people progressing along with Hartford. Good luck to all others in their Citizenship journey. Hang in there, all pains leads to some gains....eventually
AGCSEEKER, I had canceled my Indian PP, the week after my naturalization. I went to Indian Embassy physically since I was working in NY city. But I just wasted a day by going there. You can do it when you apply for OCI certificate.
FYI, received OCI card (Indian lifelong visa) yesterday. That completes my immigration journey 01/05/2008 I mailed application, received on 02/27/2008. Good luck to all others waiting for ILs, Oath, PP and your original country's visa !!!
Congratulations CTN400 - and good luck to aGCseeker. Some more wait for me - still no sign of IL. I have a quick question for folks : my wife's Indian passport expires in a couple of months. I am worried that if I mail it in now, we might not get it done in time for the interview. Is it OK to use an expired passport for the interview (should be close as I am hoping for my IL soon). Or should I go to the city and get it done ?
fyi, passed interview on 2/25. The interview took less than 30 mins, officer walked me thru the application/confirmed all points, asked 6 questions from the history test. Oath scheduled for 3/14 in New Haven.
