Surrender Certificate

This comment/complaint is regarding the EXTRA $250 penalty fee (up on top of $20 which itself is atrocious) that they are charging for getting a surrender/renunciation certificate if a person was naturalized BEFORE june 1 2010 and their passport expires after 2005 and if they have kept it without surrendering for 3 years. Now, it is no fault of ours that they started this rule. It is no fault of ours that they did NOT want our passports at the time of us getting our OCI cards and Indian Visas (yes a person at the NYC consulate said that to me) and it is not our fault that our passport expires after 2005. This seems totally unfair and unjust. Honestly, I dont have $250+ dollars lying around. I hope someone does something about this, because this is totally not fair. Travisa is no help either, they are just pointing their fingers at someone else!! Let us do something about this together.
