Asia: SouthPOLICE CLEARANCE

HI VJER'S,

I'M A FILIPINA. I LIVE IN ILIGAN CITY PHILIPPINES. I JUST GOT MY NOTIFICATION LETTER FOR K-1 INTERVIEW
FROM THE US EMBASSY TODAY. IN 2008, I WORKED IN SAUDI ARABIA FOR 8 MONTHS.
MY PROBLEM:I NEED TO GET A POLICE CLEARANCE FROM THE SAUDI GOVERNMENT.

CAN ANY BODY TELL ME HOW TO GET THIS POLICE CLEARANCE? WHO SHOULD I CONTACT OR CALL?


SALAMAT PO!


I had the same question just about one month ago. I lived in Israel for 8 months and asked if I needed police clearance from there. Other VJ members told me that I needed police clearance from places I lived for AT LEAST 1 YEAR, so I didn't get any police certificate beside the one from Romania. I had NO problems at the interview. If the consular officers in Manila are harsh, just call or email the Consulate... good luck!

jinga linga, are you an NRI? Meaning are you of Indian Origin (one or both of your parents is Indian) ? If so you might be eligible to apply for and receive a PIO Card. This card gives you the ability to buy land and do business and get a job in India.

In order to work in India you will need to be able to create a PAN (Permanent Account Number) Card. You cannot open a bank account in general or get a job at a firm without this. This is similar to a Social Security Number.

In order to live in India and do day-to-day things you need 3 types of main proofs: ID Proof (something with your name and photo), Signature Proof (something with your signature) and Address proof (something with your current Local Indian address).

The types of documents that can help you do this are Indian Driver's License, Ration Card, PAN Card, Bank Account Statement, and other things.

I don't know about immigrating to India per se - but another option you have outside of this forum is two:
Go to www.immigration.com and go to the forums. Post your question in the next biweekly webinar and it is
possible Mr. Khanna (immigration lawyer) can provide some nugget of info for free
Call or go to the Indian Embassy in your city. You can even email them and ask. You will be required to
tell them your name, city, your (passport) nationality and then tell them your situation and they may
have some information on this as well.

You can read this Wiki page as well on how to gain Indian Citizenship. http://en.wikipedia....nationality_law

Even though you are not looking to gain Citizenship to India, it is probably a good idea to have knowledge of that in your situation !

Good luck to you in your journey !

This is from the sitcom Goodness Gracious Me - a UK tv show about Asian lifestyles and families. I have the entire TV sitcom on DVD - it is awesome !

There is a new show being put out by NBC in the USA called "Outsourced". It is supposed to be about a US business that moves offshore to India to Outsource its products and all the funny things that happen when trying to train Indians about American culture.

Asia: SouthSending Money to India
Just to post my experience - I was able to send money to my wife in India using Money Gram - www.moneygram.com

The fees vary depending on how much you want to send (similar to Western Union system) - and the fees are more expensive than all the new services out there (Citi Online Remit, ICICI Bank Money Transfer, Xoom.com, etc).

All you have to do is provide the name of the person you want to send it to and the country they are in. Then they simply have to go to any Money Gram location with an acceptable Govt ID (Passport, PAN Card, etc) and they will get the money.

It only takes minutes to transfer because you pay in cash at the Money Gram location - but it can take up to 2 hours of waiting at the Money Gram location for the receiver to actually pick the money up. It just depends on the processing in India and the verification they perform.

Asia: SouthWedding Album
My wife has a fairly large Wedding Album. It is called a taichi style wedding album - roughly translating to "suitcase" style wedding album. Needless to say it is very big and very heavy and will be hard to lug around for extended periods of time.

Those of you who have attended the interview at the Embassy already, I have some questions on this:

1) How big is the slot in the interview window at the Embassy? I have heard you can push papers through, folders, packets and even small binders. I am concerned about how to bring a large wedding album if I cannot push it through the slot at the window.

2) What size and weight wedding album did you take to the Embassy? Does the Embassy prefer to see the actual wedding album? How might they react to simply viewing a large number of photos printed on regular paper? Or printed photos glued to cardstock style paper ?

Asia: SouthWhat to do after Packet 3

Hi All,

Allright, we finaly sent the DS-230 etc back to embassy last week. From here, I am not sure what's the process for New Delhi consulate. Figure I'll ask here to people who have gone thru this and maybe point me in right direction

When we should expect to see a responce from the embassy?
After you send back packet 3, what are the next steps?
And how long before the interview is scheduled after packet 3?

Anyhelp is appreciated


I don't know the complete answer to your question, but I can tell you that I think you did not post your question in the right forum. The Indian sub-forum is very, very slow to respond and your question is more time sensitive. You should try posting again in the K-1 forum you will get much more responses.

Also I think that for the K1 visa you really have to follow up with the New Delhi embassy and Dept of State to figure out what is going on with your case. My friend did a K1 recently in New Delhi and they assigned his interview date but postmarked his interview letter with a date AFTER the actual interview itself. I remember he was really frustrated with the process and had to go to the Embassy to actually get some things and get on the phone with the DOS and figure out his case status.

Check out this thread here it will be a good starting point for you with numbers and a bit about what other people have done.

Asia: Southchances of in-law visa
You should also round up all the evidence and proof of your parents. Show your parents ownership of the business and farm land.

When my aunt and uncle in India did a tourist visa to visit their pregnant daughter-in-law & son in USA, they rounded up all this evidence on their business and homes.

Still they were asked a lot of questions at the interview and showed real proof that they could not stay away from India for long. They took home ownership documents, bank accounts, customer list with contact numbers, contracts with customers, customer correspondence, and somehow they showed that they could not leave India for long (i.e. proof that they are contacted frequently regarding regular matters for the business).

They were both awarded 10-year visas. Perhaps they were asked many questions in the interview because they had lots of documents/evidence to show, but in the end they went prepared with everything so they got the visa they were applying for.

Hope this helps !

If they do not email you back another option is to simply go to the Consulate and ask them what you need to do in this situation.

This depends of course on whether the consulate is close to you or convenient.

I don't think that the two forms are technically different. Meaning there might not be 2 separate forms: a Renunciation form and a Surrender Certificate even if they say that is the case.

When my parents surrendered their Indian passports earlier this year, what the Consulate did was endorse the original application they filled out with a stamp. The Consulate said the application form endorsed with the stamp served as the Surrender/Renunciation Certificate.

They also gave back the original Indian passport but placed a canceled stamp in it with some verbiage about renunciation or surrender.

Have you tried to email the Consulate directly and ask them in your case what would happen. They should get back to you in a couple of days.

Asia: SouthUS citizen travel restrictions ?
Applying for an OCI card can take 3-6 months to complete. I am not sure why it takes so long, but I can only guess that the consulate must send an inquiry to India or perform some type of background check / police check in India, which adds time.

A PIO card can be processed within a very short time - less than 20 days - and the all processing is done by the consulate itself. No need to send the file to India - if that is in fact what they do with the OCI.

Also in the OCI application process you have to give them your original USA passport in order to complete the processing requirement. They will keep the USA passport and give it to you only when the OCI card is ready. This means you will have to wait without a USA passport until the Consulate is ready.

For a PIO card, you do not submit any original passports or any original documents - only photocopies. Some of them have to be notarized, but that is no big deal.

I mention this comparison because you said you want to travel to Thailand in December. Your OCI card will not be ready by then, but your PIO would in fact be ready.

Of course the PIO is more expensive and you must renew it every 15 years - but (in your case) it is simply faster and easier and does not require the headache of submitting your original USA passport.

Of course as others mentioned you must qualify for the PIO - which can be done in a number of different ways (NRI, parents are Indian, married to Indian, etc).

Asia: Southpakistan worst air crash kills 152 on air bus in islamabad
hi vjers sad news yestarday 28 jul 2010 An Airbus SAS jetliner crashed into a rain-soaked hillside at Islamabad, killing all 152 aboard in the deadliest air disaster within Pakistan.Airblue flight ED202 left Karachi at 7:30 a.m. for Benazir Bhutto International Airport, which serves Islamabad and the adjacent city of Rawalpindi, this is the privately held Karachi-based carrier. There were 146 passengers and six crew members on board when the plane went down in Pakistan’s first crash in four years.Monsoon rains at Islamabad, the capital, brought low clouds that covered the ridges of the heavily wooded Margalla Hills, at the city’s edge. The A321 airliner hit a rocky ridge at 9:45 a.m. and tumbled into a ravine about 6 kilometers (3.5 miles) from the offices of President house The crash site, near the Faisal Mosque, Pakistan’s largest, is accessible only by narrow hiking trails and rescuers explored the woods for several hours to determine that no one aboard had survived. The airline’s black box was found in the hills this evening, GEO television reported, The Margalla Hills rise alongside Islamabad’s most elite neighborhoods, about 10 kilometers from Bhutto International Airport in Rawalpindi. “The area is very difficult to get to by car or by foot,” Muhammad Rashid, a spokesman for the Edhi Rescue Service, said by phone from Islamabad.

Two Americans were among the victims, a US embassy spokesman said, but gave no further details.




The aircraft had no technical fault, Airblue’s Ahmed told reporters in Karachi. “The weather was bad but not below parameters,” he said. The pilot had 35 years and 25,000 flying hours of experience, he said.and pilot is a previous employee of pakistan international airline and he is international pilot

Airblue, Pakistan’s second-biggest carrier by market share, began flying in 2004, after private airlines were given licenses to compete against Pakistan International Airline Corp., the national flag carrier. Its owners include its chairman, Tariq Chaudhry, and CEO Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, a former Pakistan Airline chief executive. Ahmed declined to say whether others own shares.

The aircraft was built in 2000 and was leased to Airblue in 2006, according to an e-mailed statement from Toulouse, France- based Airbus. It had made about 13,500 flights and was fitted with engines made by International Aero Engines, a venture backed by United Technology Corp.’s Pratt & Whitney, Rolls-Royce Group Plc, Japanese Aero Engine Corp. and MTU Aero Engines Holding AG.

The country has a category 1 safety rating from the U.S.’s Federal Aviation Administration, meaning it meets international standards.

Asia: SouthContacting U.S. Embassy/Consular Section in Islamabad
I would try calling as soon as the lines were open. Also, once you are through to the designated line and you hear the automated voice say something like 'sorry all lines are busy'....press that number again for that line....like it says press 1 for immigrant and 2 for non-immigrant or something....press your line number again....it might say sorry all lines are busy....be persistent....sometimes I would hear that message 20 times and finally the phone call would get through to an operator. you do not need to disconnect and re-try. Try this strategy. and best time to call it precisely at 12:30 or right before the time ends. it would also work to call right after they return from lunch or call on a Friday when most people are busy. All the best.

Hi,

I have been unable to contact the Consular section in Islamabad despite many tries between 12:30-3:30 Pakistan time for several days. Is there any other means or times to contact them? They are not responding to my mails either. Appreciate sharing your experiences.

Asia: SouthUS citizen travel restrictions ?

If you enter India on a Tourist Visa you cannot re-enter India for a period of 60 days from your exit of India.

In other words, if you entered on a Tourist visa from the USA, then left to Thailand, you will not be able to come back to India from Thailand for 60 days.

There are two exceptions to this 60 day rule.

1) Get special permission to re-enter India from the Ministry of External Affairs
2) Get a PIO or OCI Card. Both these statuses have no 60-day restriction. Only Tourist Visas have 60-day restriction.


It will probably be much easier for your husband to get a PIO card, this can take less than 20 days to receive at the Indian Consulates in the USA.


Actually she has one more option. I am assuming that your husband is of Indian origin. If he does not want to get PIO or OCI card he can apply for entry visa. India has now stopped giving tourist visas to person of Indian origin.

See Following At: https://www.indian-visa.com/faqs
Question:I am of Indian Origin, what type of visa should I apply for?
Answer: If you are traveling to India to visit family or for tourist related reasons you must apply for an Entry visa, NOT a Tourist visa. Please visit the Entry Visa Requirements Page for more information.

The two month gap rule only applies to tourist visa and not to "entry visa". I have been through this problem myself didn't know any better and didn't have time to go through OCI route so decided to get the "special permission". At the end i got the "special permission" but it was such a pain to get this because they wanted confirmed tickets to Mauritius (that's where we went for our honeymoon) from India before considering our request. I wrote a letter and pointed them out that on your own web-site u guys have wrote to not book flight before obtaining visa then how can i buy tickets when i am not even sure if the permission will be granted. But they didn't want to hear anything finally i decided to buy tickets and send it to them. The whole process took 1 and half month i got my US passport back after probably making 20+ calls and at one point i even told them that next week i need to leave for India for my wedding and i don't want to get the special permission please return my US passport back but they finally decided to grant one just two days before my India trip. Also i had to register in India and i was asked about this at all the immigration counters and airline counters. Trust me it's pain. My advise would be to get "entry visa" or PIO card, because u don't have time for OCI now. The first thing i did before leaving for India was to apply for OCI and already have it so no more "two month" rule for me :dance:

Thank you all for the great information! I looked up a couple of things with the info you guys provided and it looks like it's gonna take about 3 months from the time the process starts to get approval for the visa. So I'm going to get started ASAP. I had my fiance ask some questions over there as well and he found out there will be some kind of police inquiry at his home during this process. So there is no guarantee.

Do you guys think I should get a tourist visa before applying for the immigration visa? I don't want things to wind up like they did here and us not have either.

Thanks! Going to do more research now.

I've given all your answers to my previous posts much thought. I can't stand going through another year of the kind of hell I've been through this year alone and things only keep getting worse. So I have decided to pack up and go to India. But I'm not sure how long I'm going for. I don't want to get married the same week I get there. I want to relax a little, spend time with my fiance and then get married. This will make the 6 month tourist visa validity a tight squeeze to work into. So I'm thinking about moving there for at least a year, possibly a lot longer. I've searched online and at official Indian websites but I'm still confused about some things. First off....how the hell do you immigrate to India. There doesn't seem to be any visa paperwork for that so right now I'm considering an employment visa though I know that's a stretch. Is there any kind of marriage visa or immigration process for people who want to become citizens of India?

Also, I need to know more about this going over and getting married thing without having to be there 31 days first. Just in case I do have to get married quickly because I'm not sure I can work my plane ticket and other factors in my life around getting there well in advance of whatever date the astrologer sets for us. I know his parents can arrange everything but what do I need to do/have/take. What's my part in this besides showing up and participating so that I can get the legal certificate to be able to bring my husband back if I come back. Any pointers, tips, advice from people who have been there and done that is appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Asia: SouthUS citizen travel restrictions ?

someone said that they need your US passport to do the OCI application - this is not entirely true. when i applied in march, the application process was thru mail. they then assign you a case # (you'll have to check on the website as to the status and all of that) a few days later. it took a month-6 weeks to have my OCI card and sticker ready. THEN you have to present your US passport for them to put the sticker and the card in. So you can apply, go to India, come back and just go to the consulate, give your passport in and they process within the same day (assuming you live somewhere close to a Indian embassy). if not, you can still do it, just give your passport to them via fedex after you get back from India. make sure you check their website for the latest info; during the whole surrender certificate fiasco over the summer, they kept changing details on their website at least once an hour! was the biggest scam that i've seen perpetuated and just utterly ridiculous...


Yes,just because we have only 1.5months time in between, we dont want to take chance of applying for OCI.
POI is much quicker it seems and i guess we will get it within 20 days.

Regarding surrender certificate , we did apply for that too. My husband surrendered his old Indian passport and we got the passport with the cancelled stamp on it and the surrender certificate after 4 weeks of application.

Thank you so much everyone for your replies.

My husband will do the POI card as there are not requirements of sending the original US Passport.
He is coming in dec so i guess PIO will come easily before that.
After that there is no prob in going somewhere from India and then again coming back to India.

The OCI can be done later also when there is enough time.

Let emotions settle, this is a crucial time for both for you especially if your break up was heated. In this time away from your husband learn why your husband left and ended the relationship, be completely honest with yourself.

try to deal with situation wisely without any heated anger..give him some time and space yet stay in touch with him lovingly.
