so, my OCI paperwork was sent back rejected and reason being - 'Name Change Document'. what is incredibly frustrating. i sent in all docs incl original expired Indian pp with my maiden name, marriage cert with the changed last name then the divorce cert which still has the married last name and i carried it for a while. then i also had the naturalization certificate which has my maiden name (current legal name) also, USA driver's license with my current legal name + usa pp with current legal name and those are back to my maiden name. how hard is it for VFS to get this? or should i say how easy is it for VFS to get lost in this easy easy paperwork ? because as I understand, it took my naturalization certificate to change my name (back to maiden name) everywhere in USA.
2. so, I call VFS which then the automated line tells me to enter a card number to charge so I can speak to an agent/cust. service for help. no, i am not paying for you to tell me which doc you need to approve this.
My divorce was really 1 piece of paper with state of North Carolina stamp to say - you're divorced. no, I didn't receive any paperwork from court for name change because i did not go back to my maiden name at that point. I officially changed my name from married last name back to maiden name when i filed for naturalization, years later.
What will it take for VFS to accept this application ? any pointers ? which form do i need now? No, i can't go to court due to Covid. courts basically have giant bins outside to drop a letter and clerk will call ya back - if you don't have a lawyer.
Thanks,
