[linuxrox]

Does some one here know if this applies for the Washington DC consulate too?

Since it is spreading like a disease across all consulates, it will reach the embassy in a day or two.

Hello All,

Does anybody have any idea as to who can sign and attest the signatures in the Form XXII for the
renunciation of the Indian citizenship form?

Also, is it better to get the renunciation document back from the Indian Consulate before proceeding with the paperwork for OCI card?

Thanks.

form XXII is for renuncing OCI. Please see http://mha.nic.in/pdfs/1956.pdf.
CGI in NY seems to be asking Indians to renunciate OCI prior to issuing OCI. When an individual issued OCI, it goes into register XXI. and XXII comes after XXI.

I am not sure how effective this petition will be but I just now signed it and I hope all readers of this forum will also do the same. I was person # 7 to sign it and hope to see the number grow to several hundreds..

How about persons who got OCI approved recently in last couple of months.

I got my OCI approved in first week of April. At that time I got Indian PP cancelled by consulate and OCI issued. Do we still have to shell out $175 for this purpose or it is only for new application where processing is not yet complete. Another point to note is this requirement is not listed on web sites of all the consulates. Not sure whether it will create problems when you travel to India and have not paid $175.

Any thoughts ??

If they know this,then it will be in the next circular. watch out.They want money and how does it matter whether already one have an OCI/PIO/VISA but still the guy has no' certificate in hand'.
If you are not 'netted' here you may be netted next time when you visit your 'roots'-- you may be 'netted' in there,of course with penality too

I also signed.

Let's hope we get thousand ++ signature(s), and then this can be forwarded to consulate in NYC (& MEA in India).

I am not sure if that is going to make any difference though.

Or they can make rule that one must carry "Indian Passport Surrender Certificate", along with OCI/PIO etc.

Then, one has no choice.
