Things I did to prepare for the application
After going through the application instructions on CKGS website and a Youtube about “how to fill” the government website form, wrote down everything I would need, collected and scanned documents. All copies sent were color copies. No staple pins were used, placed the documents in the package in the order it was listed on the Document checklist. Signed copies of my Driver’s License, Passport copy, and Utility Bill for address changed. Used paint to convert the signature in 1:3 [200 pixels x 67 pixels] and Photograph [900 pixels x 900 pixels].I saved a copy of all the documents that were printed. Used UPS and paid for it to CKGS. Send in naturalization certificate copy, renunciation letter, old cancelled Indian passport copy, it was not on the document list. Photographs were taken at WalMart.
Called CKGS each time I got stuck, used chrome and completed the government application in one sitting, but did the CKGS part one day and the next day did government form.
