Does CGINY send us 2 Surrender Certificates or just one? I have heard both (not confirmed, just anecdotally), hence asking here.

Can someone pls tell?

Thanks.

Just One for each applicant. I have made colored copies of the SC and sent it alongwith my OCI application on Jul 9th. Will wait and see what happens.

Received Surrender Certificate along with cancelled old passport by USPS Express Mail. I had sent a $20 money order to cover postage. The process took a little over 3 weeks.

Hi,

Sent Aug 26, received at NY consulate Aug 28.
As per new rules had put in a express mail label and $20 money order for postage.
After 3 weeks (today)have sent email to consulate (even though i have no hope of that getting answered). Called a couple of the numbers, keep getting an engaged tone.

After how many weeks should i give up hope of seeing my old passport and SC and file a police report.
Is there any way to track if they have cashed the postal money orders.
My friend got his SC in less than 10 days.

Chances are i send them another $350 (me and the wife) and have they will cash both ($700).

Thank you

Quick question
Do the photocopies of the passport pages required to be notarized ?

 

[cafeconleche]

No, just self attested (signed by you)

 

[rahul_v_samant]

Received mine 1 month later... Sept 25

Do they by any chance issue SC over the counter too?

Do they by any chance issue SC over the counter too? =>

i think they might, if you do it with pio application at counter.. so oci appln is by mail, but pio appln can be done at counter. So you can apply pio and sc at same time, dont know if they wil provide SC immediately or later once pio is accepted.

This is for NY (and i am not 100% sure) so please check the website ("who can apply by mail page" for sc).
