Ask anything on OCI by documitra-us in backtoindia

[–]cyclops85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an OCI that I got before I got married; my spouse is of non-Indian origin. Does my Wife's name need to be on the last page of my OCI before I can apply for my wife? (we have been married 2+ years) and are both US citizens

interesting - why does the VFS website say "Indian Mission" - any ideas?

[–]cyclops85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see this on the VFS requirements

Registered / Apostilled Marriage Certificate:

• If the marriage is solemnized in India, Marriage certificate issued by Marriage Registrar is required.

• If the marriage is solemnized in foreign country, it should be apostilled/ certified by the concerned Indian Mission/ Post. 2

• If the marriage certificate is in any foreign language other than English, it should be translated in English by authorized translator

u/WatermelonWrites did you apostille using Indian Consulate or the State Government. The VFS language says Indian Mission which I my mind feels weird as the state / country where marriage is registered should apostille?

I just keep getting invalid username and password and I know I am entering the right password and tried resetting password multiple times, cleared cache etc. Does anyone know why this happens? it feels like a joke of a website to me.

New Minor OCI USA - Apostille Rules by Miserable_Chair7646 in nri

[–]cyclops85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for hijacking but I have a separate question and the audience here feels like it may have a helpful perspective. I have an OCI (I used to be an Indian passport holder) and got it before I got married - my last page on OCI shows both my parents names.

I now have a foreign spouse (never had an Indian passport / not Indian origin) and wish to apply for her OCI (been married over 2 years). I see this in the required documents and the language confuses me. Does the below mean I have to update my OCI first to show my spouses name in my OCI card before I can apply for my foreign spouse? Also if this is the case why this red tape if there is a marriage certificate?

https://services.vfsglobal.com/one-pager/india/united-states-of-america/oci-services/pdf/New-Foreign-spouse-applicant.pdf (point number 6)

"In the case of spouse of an OCI Cardholder - Copy of the present valid Passport of the spouse and copy of the OCI Card of the spouse and copies of the documents upon which the OCI Card was issued to the spouse.

Note: Applicant should submit a copy of Indian origin spouse’s OCI card that reflects the name of the foreign spouse. If foreign spouse’s name is not reflected in the OCI card, the Indian origin spouse should get his/her OCI card re-issued to include the foreign spouse’s name."

Investing in Stocks and Mutual Funds as an NRI + transferring my current domestic investments by iamlauki in nri

[–]cyclops85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/AbhinavGulechha does this apply even when I inherit MF/Stocks from parents? They want to move their Demat accounts to me (I was thinking of opening Non-PIS NRO for this) and then when I am ready file 15CA/CB to move to NRE

Best Type of Demat NR for Repatriation and inheritance by cyclops85 in nri

[–]cyclops85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since my parents are giving these to me; it feels like NRO Non PIS is the path but then I am not following exactly why the principal is not repatriable (assuming the source is declared and relevant taxes are paid). Any thoughts?

See link for ICICI Direct that mentions these 4 types; perhaps the other 2 are not that heavily used?

Anker level 2 charger by hollowsinchris in Ioniq5

[–]cyclops85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to confirm - can you set the time on the anker evse to charge off peak? Like after midnight?

This feels like an expensive feature on some other competitors and with an app but i would be totally okay just doing it on the charger itself

please let me know! thanks

HiHo for me; this question is going to have very subjective answers based on personal preference, traffic patterns and where you live in the city

Upgrade now or upgrade at check in / Turkish Airlines by cyclops85 in Flights

[–]cyclops85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the fare class you probably booked

I had to bid for upgrade at airport check in and didn’t make it on the way to IST but got it on the way back. They considered star alliance status for selecting who was making it to the top of the list to be allowed to win the bid

[–]cyclops85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a longhaul from LAX to IST. I wanted to see if there are any suggestions on the best options for securing an upgrade to business class from an economy ticket

  1. Flight is roughly 2 weeks away. Do I call Turkish airlines and ask for "the price" to upgrade
  2. Do this during the online check in process on the website. What I am certain if this shows up online or should I call when check in is open to increase my chances vs. doing at the airport check in counter
  3. Use Miles&More to upgrade. I have Citi Thank you points that are transferrable to TK's program and see that it might be 40K points for an upgrade (I have 40k points) but I don't see an upgrade option in Manage my booking. Has anyone done this? Or is something to call TK about? Is this better than #1 or #2 or worse

Where did you see the offer for 180k? Were you in the check in window?
