Mumbai: ACP Petition rejected

[hope74]

Hi:
I got a mail from the mumbai consulate saying that
they have sent back my ACP petition w/ the officer's remarks:
"applicant does not reside in our consular district."

My parents are currently residents of Mumbai & thats
the reason I sent the petition to Mumbai, but did not
provide any proof of their residency. This was because
my attorney said that just mentioning the fact in the petition would suffice.

Would it be wise to send the petition again w/ a proof
of residency such as ration card or paycheck of my father etc

Thnx

Have you ever lived in Mumbai? Where were you born?

What is the Indian address listed on your passport?
If it is a Mumbai address, then it's a slam dunk... send them a photocopy of that and that should establish Mumbai residency without a doubt.
If not, do not panic, several other ways of proving Mumbai residence, if in fact true.
Under no circumstances should one be lying though, of course.
Refer to other mails on this topic here.

Next time around I am going to supply all the proof
they need to prove that I am belong to Mumbai consular
district.

Thnx
