  1. Re: PIO card registration

    Just wondering why no ILites have posted any replies?

    How long will it take to get PIO card?

    Hi all

    How long will it take to get PIO card? We are planning a trip in April, so just want to know. Also they say for minor we need to keep the thumb impression on the form instead of signature. Can we do this in the Indian consulate itself or .........???

    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi,

    Normally it takes 3 weeks to arrive if you post the docs by mail. I am not sure how the process works if you personally go to the consulate.

    For thumbprint you can buy a stamppad from Staples/Officemax. Make sure you get the correct thumb print.. It differs for girls and boys.

    Hope this helps..

    :)

    Re: Urgent!!!- PIO card registration

    This is a late reply, Sorry abt that.. I have heard about a friend of mine who coudnt fly to US coz he stayed in India for more than 6 months. He got to know about this only at airport (in India) during the immigration check just before boarding his flight to US. He had to cancel the trip and had to get a verification done at SP's office. Once this was through, he could fly to US.
