Q670. Recommend Immigration

lawyer in Chennai India

Question: Dear Sir/Madam: I wish to register for Indian citizenship. Can you please suggest an individual or firm or agency to get my Indian citizenship application prepared and processed through (equivalent to the job done by an immigration attorney in USA). Currently I reside in Chennai, I am an OCI for the last eight years and my wife holds Indian citizenship. Thanks & Regards Gopal Answer: I am unable to recommend any particular firm in Chennai that does this sort of work. If you are looking for a firm similar to US style immigration lawyers, I can suggest you try a law firm called Murthy in Chennai. I believe they have offices in the United States and a branch office in Chennai. I am providing a phone number here (Tel: 44.2499.6663) for the Chennai office of Murthy immigration services for convenience sake only and not as a recommendation of any particular lawyer. If you check the local phone directories in Chennai, I am sure you will find many immigration lawyers and you should choose someone who you are comfortable with. Please be aware that applying for Indian citizenship is actually not a complicated matter and normally you would not need a lawyer. Applications for Indian citizenship can be made on-line also!
