PIO card - address proof in US (SFO)

[serra142]

Hi,

I am applying for PIO at SFO consulate. Have a tricky situation. Wondering if anybody has a suggestion or faced similar situation.

For US address proof, they need either utility bill or DL. My DL shows private post box address. I don't have any utilities on my name. Staying at friend's place. I am not employed either. I am in the process of moving to India.

What do I show as address proof in US. For tourist visa, I gave my credit card/bank statement bills. Now I see website says they are not accepted.

Thanks
Serra

Get a driver's license with a real address on it instead of a P.O.Box. Nowadays, even 'mailbox' places offer a real address & suite # for you to use.

Or, you can sign a lease with your friend, and show that to get the PIO.

My DL has a private po box address which is like real address you mentioned (with suite#). I thought it would be illegal to give that for proof of residence

I will try that first and see if they are ok with it. If not I will go with your second suggestion. I am worried if they are going to come back after few weeks and deny it. I came back to US just to apply for PIO and need to go back to India ASAP.

Thanks
