Passport for my child
Hi all,

     I took my child to PSK center, I have name mismatch in my passport and in my kids Birth certificate. With this I was asked to resubmit by correcting my name in birth certificate.

     now name change is done in birth certificate, but I travelled to US and my wife (have no address proof of what I applied for my kid ) had to take my child to passport office.

        Will they accept by submitting the same documents which I submitted earlier (address proof of mine)

Spouse name in the passport
Hi All,

I was issued with Indian Passport I was married. Now that I am married, should I add my spouse to the passport by requesting Re-issue of Passport. Without adding his name in my passport will he and my kid get US Visa and will he and my kid be allowed to travel? He just applied his passport now and got my name in his passport as Spouse. But wanted to know whether I should also get his name added in my passport in order for him to travel?

Thank you in advance.

No news about Indian passport application after three months
Hi, passport application was made in Maharashtra in October 2015 and police clearance was signed off by the senior officer at the police station in early December. However, application does appear to have moved to the next stage (i.e. no message sent of progress) or status updated on the passport website. I understood that police clearance in Maharashtra only took a week.

I would like to hear views on the following:

(1) what can the applicant do if where there does not appear to be any progress in processing passport after police clearance? and
(2) how long does it take to receive a passport in Maharashtra?

Thank you for reading my post and if you had similar experience, please share your news.

Passport flagged incorrectly as stolen
Hi,

I live in the US and recently traveled to India. During my onward journey, I was asked to meet the airport security in Seoul, South Korea. I came to know that my passport has been flagged as stolen. The airport authorities verified my identity and let me proceed to India. I had the same question during my visa interview in Chennai and I clarified with the Visa officers that I have no clue about my passport reported as stolen and that it was a false complaint. I was granted my visa on the same passport and I started by journey back to the US with transit in Singapore and Seoul. I did not face any issues while I traveled from Chennai -> Singapore and Singapore -> Seoul. However I was not allowed to board the connection flight from Seoul to San Francisco for the same issue I had earlier. I tried to explain that my passport was in my possession and I never reported it as lost or stolen. But the US Customs and Border Security did not not allow me to continue my journey and I had to return back to Chennai.

Question for which I could not get any response from Airport authorities, I am hoping someone in the forum could give me some info on are:
1. How could my passport be flagged as stolen only when I tried to enter the US and not anywhere else?
2. Whom should I contact to nullify the flag that my passport is stolen so I can travel back to the US?
3. How is it possible for someone else (if it was the case) to report my passport as stolen? Has anyone faced similar issue?

Passport Reissue
Hello,
I am in Michigan on an F1 student visa. I had my passport issued in 2006 in Bangalore, India and is due for renewal this year. I have a few questions regarding the process:

1. Must I be a walkin customer, or can I post my passport for renewal?
2. Where can I find the appointment setting page on website? I do not find it.
3. If I am a walkin customer, must my visa be notarized? If so, what other documents must be notarized?
4. Can I avail passport delivery to my address in Michigan (being a walkin customer) since I may not be able to go to Chicago for collection. Also, will my old passport be returned, since it has my valid visa in it.
5. My full name is YYYY YYYY (last name is YYYY). In my current passport, there is no surname, and my given name is YYYY YYYY . Can I get this changed in the reissued passport? If so, what is the procedure?
6. I have an ECR check on my passport. I graduated my Bachelors in 2013 and have proof of it as well. Can I get it removed on the new passport?
7. Should I mention my US address on the work order form, or my Indian address?

Name split on passport validity
Hello experts. My name was printed incorrectly on my Indian passport (Validity: Dec 2017)and due to that I am facing lot of issues in the US. Now, I am planning to get the passport corrected.

The question is that whether after name correction, I will be issued the passport with validity Dec 2017 or will I be issued a passport with validity 10 years from the date the name split application will be submitted.
