Chickloo, you'd not b allowed to apply for GC on TN visa. That's part of nafta treaty, that provisions tn visa. You'll need to convert tn visa to other visa like l1 or h1 to apply for gc.

Yes; obviously - how else would you prove your relationship (marriage)?

Can't agree any less. CGI makes the formula complex - BLS adds confusion at best to the complexity. Even a complex formula can be understood by following a methodical approach (CGI) - but its toilsome to get to the bottom of a confusing equation. I wonder some times, VFS is n't this confusing...

Well, not true - it's location specific - ottawa doesn't accept surrender cert n OCI applns together...even in the setup you mentioned (using receipt)

Ask96, thanks... Did you have to do children appln too? What did you do for signature? Did u scan thumb impression?

Thanks exports (I'm not in Toronto ???)...and thanks canadiandesi2006 This is whati'm planning to do - 1) scan the photos already taken - that's what the consulate would do when the appln is submitted with photo. And I'll upload the scanned photos 2) for adults, I'll scan signatures... For...

The OCI application online is mandating for applicant's image & signature image. This seems to be new. I have a couple of Qs. 1) I didn't know this requirement (seems new), so I had already gotten the photos taken into hard copy from the photo studio. I've shelled out a lot of money for the...

This is awful... What kind of restriction could that be?

Why 3 visits, if I may ask?

No surprise to know bls is confused... The are always confused and confuse applicants. I had 1 such experience with call centre agent recently... Such immigration illiterates I'd say, the bls staff are. PIO to OCI... No fresh appln. So, it falls under 'OCI miscellaneous' Also pio to OCI fees...

Makes sense - with USA, 'you' are surrendering the citz... With India, you are 'denied' (so no option other than surrendering) anyways...

Thx gjp... I called bls call centre earlier today, and they said the same thing.

I understand I'll need to take photocopies of all of my PPs. What I'm not sure is if I need to take 4 copies of each PP. one for self, one on spouse appln, 2 for children's applns. Same Q for other docs like citz cert, copr, canada PPs, indian PPs, address proof, etc. I'm confused. Any body...

Ne body?

Can ne one tell me - if I should submit 4 xerox copies of ex patch document (eg., PP, etc) - one each for a family member ( family of 4 - self, spouse, 2 children) for OCI appln? The checklist asks for spouse PP, parents PP for children. Or if I'm submitting all 4 applns together, 1 copy of my...

It's more of a 'renounciation fee' than a 'passport' surrender fee. Well, I'm not saying the fee is ok- it's certainly hefty, and hard to bear... But that's the way it is .... Like check out USA renunciation fee - that would be humongous...
