yes at least its pretty clear about the VFS now! they just want the 387 f*****n rs money - that's all. even though you can pick up the passport yourself. just a moneymaking scheme, that's all...

ya dont get me started on the f*****n surrender certificate man. it just gets me sooo angry. pure and simple - just a way for them to make money. that's all. and not just like 10 or 20 bucks, but a 175$ !!!!! give me a f*****n break :bonk: :bonk: :bonk: it would be one thing if they tell you about this before you apply for your OCI, but what is incensing is the fact AFTER they grant me my OCI AND print my cards and sticker ready to be picked up, they tell you this s***t! :angry: :angry: :angry:

Sorry for all the obscenity, but its the only thing keeping me from being worry free about attending my wife's interview on the 10th. the NY India consulate is having a special emergency "camp" on saturday to people who have trips coming up. lets see if i get it then...it starts at 9 am, which means i will have to be there at 6 in the AM itself. thank God at least its a holiday on monday!

that's awesome you were able to get the 3rd date and get everything sorted out; man i know exactly how much running around your wife must have done, since mine went thru the same thing. Best of luck to all of us!!!

Our Indian government is a joke. They want money from anything and everything. Oh yeah not to mention how bribes get your things to go faster. They just have no regard even if you are Indian. Meh. I can go on and on about it. Sorry I am off topic.

Mother Fu****

He got the approval she said, but they just need the tax transcripts for 2009! I have complete copies of 2009 submitted by a tax professional for 2007, 08 and 09, but they want the transcripts for 09 specifically. I requested them already, they will be snail-mailed to me and then I can fax them to him. He has a paper saying he can get the visa as soon as he gets the fax from me. So they should come in about 10 days.

So not great news, but not the worst :crying:
