OCI Miscellaneous Services Issues

[dgchandran]

I am going through the process with CGNY. I just got my acknowledgement yesterday (It takes 4 weeks).

To answer your question, you are right - there is no information as such. To be on the safe side, include an additional photograph with the application (Since you get 2 passport photos always - might as well be on the safe side)

Thanks for the Info. I sent with just 1 photo, and after about 5 weeks, the documents have been scanned, printed and sent back to NYC.

What did you do next? Mail the new passport and the OCI card? Any more photos required?

Thanks again.

OCI to New Passport??

Hello All

I think this Q was asked before...

I've OCI on srilankan passport. I have changed nationality (US).
Do I need to transfer my OCI to new passport or can I travel with the old OCI sticker???
Looking at the timelines for OCI, I think it is going to be a long process...

Thanks

i hate this OCI visa renewal on the passport. why can't the GoI simply declare the OCI registration booklet as a travel document - just like the PIO card - and keep it independent of passport info, just like USA GC.

Yes it would be much simpler if the OCI document was kept separate from the Passports.
But then they would not be able to cause trouble for us ....would they!

My OCI document has been in NYCG office since Dec 11th 2009 and they have not sent it to me!
All my phone calls go to a dead end phone,
My emails go unanswered.

I was planning to go to India in Feb now I cant go

This is so ridiculous!

Has anyone succeeded after this point?
What did you do?

Or Can I just disown the OCI card and just get a visa?

I had sent a moneyorder for processing fee and postage but the document has not been mailed to me.
It is now been 2 months that it has been in the counsulate offie in NY.
I live in the Boston area so I cannot just go to collect it myself!

What did you do?
