Need help with OCI application

[san18ind]

Hey everyone,

I am applying for OCI currently and facing some issues. Where in NY will I get photos on a non-white background (light background)? According to the website - indiacgny.org this is what they accept

I have all the documents according to the website. 2 copies of all the necessary docs like parents proof of Indian C'ship and everything..

Please help me if you have any info. I might visit the consulate at NY soon.

Thanks
Sanchita

CAUTION - Check U.S. Information on Dual Nationality

Source: http://www.travel.state.gov/trip-can.../cis_1753.html

"Intent can be shown by the person's statements or conduct.The U.S. Government recognizes that dual nationality exists but does not encourage it as a matter of policy because of the problems it may cause. Claims of other countries on dual national U.S. citizens may conflict with U.S. law, and dual nationality may limit U.S. Government efforts to assist citizens abroad. The country where a dual national is located generally has a stronger claim to that person's allegiance."

Photos - Non-White Background

AAA in NJ does this for you. I know of few people who got it done in the past through AAA.

Also, you can change the background in Adobe Photoshop and then use MS Word to print the photos on photo-paper with the correct dimensions.

MS Word allows you to re-size the photos properly as required.

If you want to make it easier for you, invest in a software from:

This s/w has the dimensions for USA, UK, European Union and Brazil.
Also, it has the option to add dimensions for other nations.

Hope this helps.

Good luck.
