    OCI application with second citizenship anticipated

    Thanks for that input. I think it makes sense to get the OCI associated with US citizenship as USA requires its citizens to travel to and from it using US passport, while Canada has an exception for American Canadians, where they can use their US passport to travel to and from Canada. I will...

    OCI application with second citizenship anticipated

    The whole point of having OCI is not needing to apply for e-visa. I actually have my USA citizenship interview coming up in a little over a month, so I think I will wait for the US citizenship and then apply for OCI on US passport. It is more likely I will use US passport to travel to India...

    Still Waiting for Test 12+ Months after Citizenship Application

    Hi, my urgent processing request was based on mistakes IRCC made in my case that I found while reviewing my GCMS notes. I don't think it had any effect. IRCC generally holds cases when people leave the country temporarily. They ask you inform them when you are back in the country, sometimes...

    Hi, I did get my citizenship on August 15 2023. You can see the steps taken in my signature. Have you informed IRCC that you have moved abroad and do not have plans of returning to Canada?

    OCI application with second citizenship anticipated

    Thanks. I have actually seen that document before. I think it is still ambiguous. The document simply says one can apply for reissuance incase of CHANGE of nationality. Change suggests the situation where a person was one nationality before, gave that up and took up another nationality. Eg: A...

    OCI application with second citizenship anticipated

    Thank you for all your patience in replying to me. I find it very stressful dealing with VFS and Indian consulate, so I wanted to limit the number of times I have to make applications with them. So I was thinking to wait for US citizenship and then apply for OCI after. But I also want to get the...

    Hi I wanted to ask the source for your answer to 3. How do you know that India will not print more than one citizenship on the OCI?

    OCI application with second citizenship anticipated

    Thanks for the information on the general flexibility by airlines. I guess this is not set in stone thought, and there may be exceptions, that I have to watch out for? That last sentence is you quoted from the department of state website is stating - so long as you are not travelling to or from...

    OCI application with second citizenship anticipated

    They don't? State department website says, "U.S. nationals, including U.S. dual nationals, must use a U.S. passport to enter and leave the United States." https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/travel-legal-considerations/Relinquishing-US-Nationality/Dual-Nationality.html Furthermore...

    OCI application with second citizenship anticipated

    Thanks for your answers to 2 and 3. I am clarifying my dilemma about 1 below: By Law, US citizens are required to enter and exit USA using only US passport. Since I live in the US I would be flying from here to India directly. So after I become US citizen, I have to book my ticket using my...

    I am a naturalised Canadian citizen, living in USA, expecting to obtain US citizenship in the coming months. I was an Indian citizen before becoming Canadian, and have already completed the surrender/ renunciation process in 2022. I would like to apply for OCI now, and after that apply for OCI...
