I was an Indian citizen till 11 months back and became naturalized citizen of USA.
During the process of Naturalization I changed my last name from Gupta to Agrawal.
This is creating difficulty in getting PIO card.
I have all the docs, but Consulate sent my application for PIO back saying I need to advertise in indian newspaper about name change, before PIO can be issued.
Please advise me about the procedure, and if some one has encountered this
Now I am US citizen, why I have to advertise in indian paper?
How long it takes to complete process of advertisement?
how much it costs?
which paper?
