Hi Bobsmyth
Need urgent help. Kindly help. Absolutely new to the subject.
My wife has an Oath ceremony in NY on Aug 6 and she has to travel within two weeks to India. In fact vist was postponed due to this pending oath.
We are currently in VA while permanent residents of NY. Plan to change address soon after completion of all Citizenship formalities. We want to buy the Air ticket only after Passport and Visa in hand.
1. How and where to file Passport application. We would like to file this immediately on Aug 6 soon after the oath ceremony in NY. Can we file this somewhere closer to Brooklyn NY Court (place of oath ceremony) and Can we give VA address for receipt of Passport.
2. Based on your experience, what is the safest and best mode to be sure that we get the passport within one week.
3. How and where to get Indian visa. Can we visit Indian embassy in DC for visa and get same day service there after we receive the US Passport. What other formalities.
4. Can you also guide and help what to get - whether 6-months or 10-year visa and what are the benefits and formalities of OCI and where to apply for this.
Thanks for your help and look forward hearing from you soon
