Guess who passed his citizenship interview....Mr. Premal Shah!!! Congratulations, hun!

His oath ceremony is on August 21st after which he will officially be a U.S. Citizen and we will be a 100% American family.

Knowing Premal, I'm sure he is looking forward to being able to vote and getting security clearance for many more naval ship yards. On the down side he probably won't like having to get a new passport and require an Indian visa. He plans on applying for dual-citizenship so hopefully it won't be an issue for long.

Can't get dual citizenships with Security clearances :-(.. They'll actually want him to show proof that his Indian Passport is "Cancelled"..

OCI doesn't require Indian passport... its like being a full citizen of USA and a part citizen of India. No visa reqd. to travel back to India, but no Indian passport either.

ok you guys gotta understand there is no such thing as dual citizenship at least USA dont recognize that. What u need to do is to get a POI card or something like that which is like a resident alien card or something like that. you probably need to get visa to go to india even if u have that card i think.not to sure on that topic though. but if u do get it please do let me know i am planning to but want to wait until some else does it to see how it all works out.
