Oh sorry to hear about ur denial..

i m tired of this waiting game. here in CSC people from FEB end are getting approved and others with similar dates as mine are also getting approved. This anxiety just kills. Even during my citizenship i had to wait freaking 2 years.. good thing i stopped waiting for it after few weeks. lol

So going to India might just be a good option for me right now. Only problem i see is that if we have a small wedding would that decrease our chances of getting DCF

Even a plain-jane civil wedding is adequate--as the CO's will be interested most in the certificate/licence.

i also have OCI to india , so dont know if that will be of any help or not
Well, it is at least incrementally helpful--as you have legal rights to work/stay in India.

The paperwork is straight forward and from what I've seen many many people have no problems and get the PIO in just a couple weeks...but those who have issues have ISSUES - I guess it's sort of like this process.

Not surprising to me since this seems to be the way that this whole process works with made up rules depending on who's having a good or bad day!!!

Oh, and I agree...Indiamike.com has been a great site! I've learned a lot there.

PIO card is an easy process and one can get it in 1-2 weeks. OCI takes longer. 2-2 1/2 months. I applied for a PIO card a few months ago, but was unsuccessful as I was told not to send my US PP. Wrong. So, don't forget to send your US PP along with other docs. I was too close to leaving for India at the time and so decided to get the Indian visa rather than send my US PP and get the PIO card.
