How I got my Grandma a PassportGood question. Story of How I got my Grandma's passport.Some background..My maternal grandmother has always been fond of travelling. I could see it on her face when she started watching the discovery channel. Around 40 years ago she had a chance to travel all over India with the lady she was serving. The woman was one of the influential lady of the Sarda family of Nashik where my grandma was working. Initially she worked in the factory, but later she was given a job as a personal maid for the lady of this wealthy family. She was among the numerous other servants in the home of Sardas and her task was to take care of the old lady.The old lady of the Sardas did pilgrimage once and my grandma got to travel with her. She traveled in Kashmir, Panjab, Rajasthan, UP, Karnataka, Tamilnadu, West Bengal with this lady and these travels became her memories of lifetime. Coming from a modest family, it surely was a luxury for her.Not until the late stages of her life when my mother started her own career she got the chance to revisit some of these places again. Throughout my childhood, I grew up listening to her tales of those travels and I noticed her forgetting herself in that nostalgia when she fondly recalled those memories while watching the places again on TV whenever she saw it again.I have this dream of taking my grandmother on Europe tour. I want to see her face when she travels abroad and have similar feelings she might have had when she experienced those strange places in India.There are couple of factors between that dream and reality. Around 8 years ago, none of our family members had passport. Nobody had traveled abroad. I was just starting my career after bachelors in Engineering and so was my sister. My mother and father never felt the need of having a passport. It started with my passport and then my sister's and finally my mother and father's. Eventually they all traveled abroad for some or the other reason and I got my chance too. That passport and visa story is matter of another post.My grandma however, never had the passport and hasn't traveled abroad yet. She is old.. so old that no one knows her actual date of birth. She just remembers vaguely that she was very young at the time Mahatma Gandhi died. No documented proof of the birth whatsoever. This was the first problem.When I first had this idea of getting her a passport I was aware of one way to have her birth document as to go to municipal office and get it done. But no one had the need back then. If the youngsters of the family are not going abroad yet, why would someone ask the old granny?In 2015, that old bug started carving my mind again. I was in Poland and I thought that let's get at least passport. A step at a time. When I came for summer break, I started the procedure. I asked mother and she said yes. But she was skeptical whether a person as old as my grandma can make it to abroad this age or whether they will ever approve her visa. But I convinced her that we should get her passport first, that's the essential.. everything comes later. My point was backed by my sister too who said that there are so many Patel grannies in New York even older than my grandmother.From thought to reality.Stage 1So, I confirmed by calling the passport office customer service and their detailed website (yes, Passport office of India has a kick-ass service from past few years.[1] But the reminiscence of earlier red tape doesn't fade away so easily.)So according to them, what was needed for my Grandma to have her first ever passport -1. Birth Date proof.2. Proof of residence.3. Photo IDThe Problems -For 2 - Proof of residence, the problem was that she has been living with her daughter since my grandpa passed away back in 1988 I think.. long time. So, we couldn't just produce electricity bills which have my mother's name. So, I decided to use her bank passbook. Fortunately she has account with nationalized bank where she receives her pension every month. So I checked. It had old address on it.. darn it.For 3 - Photo IDWe had her Electoral card. So, this was good.We could also use her bank passbook which was allowed as Photo ID if it is a nationalized bank which is the case for my grandma.For 1 - Birth date proofThey suggested that they would need only an affidavit stating her date of birth and signature or in her case her thumb impressions. As it turned out, for illiterate applicants who are born before 1988, they can submit a sworn affidavit. So, this was good too. I got this affidavit done just few minutes before the appointment in front of Pune passport office. It was easy. You pay Rs.350 and it's done in 10 minutes.The solutions -For 2 - Proof of Residence.We took her to the Nationalized bank first. Applied for the address change. Attached the electoral card and ration card xerox as proof. Surprisingly, they said that they would give the new passbook at the same time. We waited for a while, and indeed even if the regular working time was over they returned the new passbook with new address and photo of my Grandma. Win for the day.Anticipating that the passport office might need more than one supporting document, I also started the procedure to get ADHAAR card for my Grandma. It took 7 days, but comparatively it was very easy to get. But still before I knew it was easy, I had to make a couple of trips to the registration office and it was quite frustrating. This should be another post - How I got my Adhar Card.So, I was ready now. I checked the Passport site. I completed the personal data form which I had saved time to time. Appointments were available in next few days. Another surprise. Just few months ago, if you were to take appointments, you had to wait for at least a month for normal appointment. Tatkal on the other hand gets you next day appointment but it costs almost double. So, I took the appointment of few days later. Just to be safe.Day of Appointment-14th September 2015I got all the documents xeroxed. I had the copy of the appointment confirmation. Went to the affidavit shop (yes it's true) in front of the passport office and got the affidavit for date of birth. The appointment was 10.30 AM. So I went to the gate, the sentry there looked at the appointment confirmation and said that it wasn't that. What they needed was another print with a barcode on it. Duh.. I crossed the road again went to one of the affidavit shop, paid Rs.20 to get the appointment confirmation printed from my account on http://Passport.gov.Came back to the gates holding hand of my grandma. The sentry checked the appointment print. He looked convinced. Asked for my ID. For old and illiterates it is allowed for one blood relative to accompany them inside the passport office. He asked who was I as my surname is different than my Grandma. I said I was her grandson.. she is my maternal grandma. He said she should have come with her son.. in a bit agitated voice I said that "she doesn't have one". He nodded his head and let us go inside. The same process again at the office entrance.The passport office had three layers.First- pre-check documents.Second- photograph, fees collection and data entry, documents scan.Third - Documents check from passport officers.I asked my grandma to wait at a corner and I stood in the queue. They have many counters to precheck the documents After waiting for 10 minutes, the lady said that I should have brought death certificate of my Grandpa. WHAT? they didn't mention it anywhere on the site.. at least not to my knowledge.. She said it's necessary for a widow. But still she let me pass to the second stage.The waiting in the senior citizen section was next to none so I straight went to the second counter.The lady there asked me to confirm the details that I had filled online. She took Grandma's photograph in couple of attempts. The bio-metric took a bit long as grandma's palm have too many wrinkles and cracks which made the scanning difficult. She scanned all the documents one by one and asked for the death certificate.. I said that I didn't have and she just chuckled and took the processing fees of Rs.1500. "You should have brought the death certificate" she whispered while we left the booth.I got this ominous feeling that today is not the day.. but still I was hopeful. I went to third and last counter. The familiar government officer face indifferently said that everything was fine, but they need the death certificate. On one side I was happy that every other document, including the much concerned birth date affidavit worked but on the other hand, the red tape devil still had me.I asked very politely that my grandpa died more than 20 years ago and we don't have it. I also asked if pension document can do the job.. and he said no. An old lady in front of him expecting her passport didn't move him a single bit. He gave me next appointment date of 15 days later.I came out frustrated. In this state of the art facility, some things haven't changed yet. I said to myself.Grandma asked if it was done.. I explained her what we missed. She nodded her head and we came back home.Stage 2I called my mother and asked if we have the death certificate. She said yes.. So, there was ray of hope after all.In the evening, I and my mother dug up the old documents. In the pile of rusty old court case papers we searched and searched. As it turned out, she had the xerox copy of the death certificate. It wasn't going to be enough. We found old photographs, old post cards.. my mother turned nostalgic filled with her childhood memories when she read the postcards from her father. Told me the story how she had to fight with her step mother and brothers to get righteous share for my grandma. It's a tale of sorrow, determination and patience.. I am proud of my mother for what she did for her mother.Pondering on how to complete this task of getting my grandma her passport, she suggested that we could it from the Grampanchayat of the village where my Grandma spent most of her life, where my grandpa died. My mother has her cousins in the village and the next day I called my cousin Vishal, son of my grandma's other daughter. Vishal said that he would get it done. I gave him xerox copy of the death certificate. Thanks to him and my uncles in that village, we got the original one after few days.Meanwhile, I was leaving to Austria to complete my second semester. So I asked my mother and Rupa to get it done in the second appointment.On 28th September, Rupa took my grandma again to the passport office and showed the death certificate. Finally they accepted the passport application. Win for the day!Stage 3The passport application was processed in few days and the police verification was initiated.Rupa had to handle all those things as she had to go to the Police station 3 times with my grandma.The police needed the birthday affidavit. Thank god I had taken photographs of it before submitting in the passport office. Otherwise they would have forced us to get it new.Conclusion -Day was 7th November 2015. I got confirmation on my mail that the passport has been dispatched by speed post. One more hurdle to cross as sometimes the Postman miss to deliver it on address. As I was completing this post on my blog, I got news from home. They received the passport. It took us long, but finally we have done it!_*_1. The reforms started back in Congress government.. I felt compelled to mention this as people these days have unhealthy habit of attributing everything good happening in India to the new Modi government. I am a Modi bhakt too but please, facts are facts.Original post - How I got my Grandma a Passport

As an American Citizen, I’d be dishonest if I kept it to just one. There are a whole list of them, and I’m seeking to make contact with the right people to get amendments to the Constitution added.Why? Because Congressional scumbags CANNOT BE TRUSTED to keep their word, let alone comply with the law, hence the need for constitutional amendments to keep congressional weasels from welching on their word.Found my original notes. Here is my list of proposed amendments to the Constitution of the United States…AMENDMENT XXVIIIACCURATE UNITED STATES CENSUS AMENDMENT(Written on a dinner napkin in Oklahoma City in 2009 during a political lunch; ran this past an AUSA friend of mine; he found it 100% bulletproof as to any legal or constitutional challenges.)Section 1. The Decennial Census of the United States and of the individual states and territories within shall be an actual head count to include only those persons who either are citizens of the United States at the time of census, or those who are legal permanent residents thereof.Section 2. Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.Section 3. This article shall take effect immediately upon ratification. ***AMENDMENT XXIXLEGISLATION CRAFTING AMENDMENTSection 1. No legislative bill is to exceed ten (10) pages.Section 2. All bills must be accompanied by the Constitutional article authorizing said bill.Section 3. No content in the bill that does not pertain to the title of the bill.Section 4. All bills are to be written in layman’s terms and posted online for ten days prior to introduction on the floor.Section 5. All bills requiring expenditures must disclose Total Costs, How the Bill Will Be Funded, Who the Beneficiaries Are, Who Will Pay, and a Sunset Date.Section 6. Each legislator shall read the proposed legislation thoroughly, and sign a certificate of understanding certifying under penalty of perjury, immediate loss of congressional seat, and five years in federal prison, that they understand the bill they are voting on.Section 7. This amendment shall take effect immediately upon ratification. ***AMENDMENT XXXESSENTIAL PROTECTION OF THE UNITED STATES MEDICAL SUPPLY CHAIN AMENDMENTSection 1. The medical supply chain of the United States shall be purged of all foreign influences, specifically all sources outside North America. This includes all medications, face masks, ventilators, all medical and surgical equipment, and every facet of hospital or medical and/or dental office construction, remodeling, or demolition.Section 2. In light of the essential need to the national safety, security and interest, these occupations and those supporting them are deemed national-security essential,Section 3. All employees involved in this national-security essential industry shall be either United States citizens or legal permanent residents thereof. In addition, they shall be required to undergo security clearance screening to the SECRET level; failure to qualify is grounds for automatic termination of employment, with only acknowledged administrative errors as sufficient grounds for reversal of a termination decision.Section 4. All employees in this profession and its related industries are subject to routine background monitoring, to include unannounced inquiries of their financial records at any time.Section 5. The importation of pharmaceuticals of any kind from any country other than Canada is prohibited.Section 6. This amendment shall take effect immediately upon ratification. ***AMENDMENT XXXILIFETIME CONGRESSIONAL TERM LIMITS AMENDMENT(Based on a public referendum put together in the form of a State Question at the polls to Oklahoma voters in 2010 which amended the Oklahoma Constitution to affect these term limits. Statewide offices had already been term-limited to four-year terms, which in Oklahoma are already renewable only once.)Section 1. No member of Congress, be they a Senator or Representative, shall serve in Congress for longer than a total cumulative period of twelve years, whether it be two six-year terms in the Senate, or six two-year terms in the House of Representatives. This will allow for both a continuous infusion of new talent, as well as for servants of the people to know that public service is for a season, and not a lifetime.Section 2. In the event a Representative is either appointed or elected to a Senate seat, the twelve-year total period of service is cumulative, effective upon taking the oath of office. Should the member reach twelve years in office while a Senator, they shall stand down at the end of that term of Congress, and the remainder of that Senate term shall be filled by special election. The Governor of that Senator’s state shall then place that senator’s seat up for election to serve the unexecuted portion of that Senator’s term.Section 3. There will be no provision allowed for grandfathering within this amendment. In other words, full retroactivity applies, with the 12-year provision including all cumulative time spent in office up to and including the time this amendment is ratified and takes effect. In addition, the practice of congressional pensions is discontinued, effective the date the amendment takes effect, with incumbent congressional members encouraged to plan their own retirement, beginning the day they declare their candidacy. ***Section 4. This amendment will take effect immediately following the first general election and conclusion of the Congress following ratification. ***AMENDMENT XXXIIVOTING PHOTO IDENTIFICATION REQUIREMENT AMENDMENTSection 1. No person 18 years of age or over within the United States, its territories or any part of its jurisdictions thereof, may vote in any elections of any kind, unless they first provide photographic proof of United States Citizenship. In addition to providing positive photo identification in the form of a government-issued identification card, with a United States Passport Book or Passport Card fulfilling the requirement, they must also provide verifiable proof of residence. Proof of citizenship plus a driver’s license or state identification card meets this requirement.Section 2. United States Citizens 18 years of age and over, who are living outside the United States, may vote by absentee ballot, provided they meet guidelines as provided for in the Federal Voter Absentee Program (FVAP), and send both their absentee ballot to the county in which they were last registered in the United States, along with either a photocopy of their identification page of their passport or photocopy of both sides of their United States Passport Card, so as to provide indisputable proof of United States Citizenship, in order that the vote may be both eligible and valid for purposes of counting the vote.Section 3. An acceptable alternate proof of citizenship would be a driver’s license or state-issued identification card from a state compliant with REAL ID licensing requirements, containing the voter’s photograph, full name and current address on it, that the voter would present their voter reminder card at the polls on Election Day. It must also indicate US Citizenship on the front thereof, with three-letter indicators to indicate YES for Citizens, LPR for Legal Permanent Residents, or NON for Non-Citizens, those on Visas or Work Permits, or the like.Section 4. The YES in the Citizen block would confirm both voter eligibility, and that the voter also appears on the electoral rolls for the polling station to which they are assigned. The real ID form will also have a GOLD star in the top right-hand corner for United States Citizens; a SILVER star in the top right-hand corner for Legal Permanent Residents of the United States; and a BRONZE star for non-citizens of the United States who are in the country legally, for work, education or other legal and legitimate purposes.Section 5. Those licenses or other REAL ID documents expire on the date their visas expire. Only those persons with a GOLD STAR on their REAL ID documentation may vote in any election in the United States, be it a federal, state, county, city, or other local. This constitutional amendment supersedes any and all state laws, or other local ordinances that otherwise have allowed non-citizens to vote in any other way, shape, form or fashion. The practice of vote harvesting is now a felony criminal offense, carrying with it a minimum ten-year federal prison sentence, with lifetime disenfranchisement, and potential loss of citizenship, and conferral of statelessness for so doing.Section 6. Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation that is compliant with this amendment, which prohibits Congress in any way from relaxing in any measure the distinction between citizen, permanent resident, and non-citizens, who, if not legally in the country, will be removed from the United States safely, swiftly, and with all due speed..Section 7. This article shall take effect immediately after an election has intervened following its ratification. ***AMENDMENT XXXIIIBALANCED BUDGET AMENDMENT (Draft)This has been touched on and drafted previously by Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX, Mike Lee (R-UT) and Rand Paul (R-KY). It is essential in my view that a responsible bipartisan approach be taken on the issue of a mandatory annual balanced federal budget, with automatic rainy day reserve amounts put aside, and only with a two-thirds or a three-quarters super-majority vote can they deficit spend, and that it be done before the end of the second term of Donald Trump.AMENDMENT XXXIVNATIONAL DEBT ELIMINATION ACT/THE GREAT AMERICAN LAND SELL-OFFSection 1. Under the direction of the Department of the Interior, the Department of the Treasury, and the Department of Defense, the Government of the United States will begin selling off excess land holdings at market rates at dates to be determined. With as much as 85% of the land in the Western United States being federally-owned and not being utilized, this is the perfect time to return the ‘power to the people’.Section 2. 100% of the proceeds of these sales will be deposited in a dedicated account, used specifically for and solely to pay down the National Debt and which Congress cannot under any circumstances have any access to, which in tandem with a Balanced Budget Amendment, will bring the United States to living well within its means, much like over 30 states are currently required to do.Section 3. This article shall take effect immediately upon ratification. ***AMENDMENT XXXVLAND SALES EXCLUSION ZONE AMENDMENTSection 1. The sale of land to foreign nationals—that is, non-citizens or other non-permanent residents of the United States—within defined exclusion areas of the United States, is prohibited. There will be set in place a 100% prohibition of the ownership of any private property by foreign nationals, to include non-legal permanent residents of the United States, within defined exclusion zones.Section 2. Exclusion zones are defined as those areas are within 100 miles of any United States coastline, any land border, or within a 100-mile radius of any United States military installation, so as to preserve both national sovereignty, as well as legitimate national security needs.Section 3. Landowners selling property or properties must ensure and certify under penalty of federal perjury laws, as well as penalties of either sedition or treason, that their prospective buyer(s) meet eligibility requirements as to citizenship or other eligibility to either buy in an exclusion zone, or otherwise certify that the proposed property is outside the exclusion zone.Section 4. This article shall take effect immediately upon ratification. ***AND YES, AMENDMENTS 33, 34, AND 35 ARE CONNECTED…AMENDMENT XXXVINATIONWIDE CONSTITUTIONAL CONCEALED CARRY AMENDMENTSection 1. The right to keep and bear arms as stated in the 2nd Amendment is extended to include the right to carry concealed weapons in all 50 states and territories of the United States, without delay or hindrance by any and all agencies at or below the federal level. While such is the case for United States citizens exclusively, constitutional concealed carry protections do not extend to any foreign nationals, whether legal permanent residents, those on work or student visas, or especially those in the country illegally, or otherwise without status, especially those who have been disqualified from possessing either firearms of any kind, or ammunition as well.Section 2. The current prohibitions against convicted felons possessing firearms remains in place pursuant to existing state and federal laws.Section 3. The penalties for domestic violence under what had previously been known as the ‘Lautenberg Amendment’ are hereby modified, so as to retain the right to keep and bear arms for those who have been or were previously convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence on the first offense only, but only after a five-year possession ban has passed and expired for conviction on the first misdemeanor offense only. In the event of a second domestic violence misdemeanor, or any felony domestic violence offense, as with all other felony convictions, such would be sufficient grounds for lifetime disqualification from any firearms or ammunition possession.Section 4. This article shall take effect immediately upon ratification. ***AMENDMENT XXXVIIRESIDENT-BASED TAXATION AMENDMENTSection 1. Effective the date of ratification, taxation by the United States of its citizens will apply only to those citizens of the United States residing within its borders for more than 183 days within a given 365-day period. The United States is the only industrialized nation in the world that taxes its people based on citizenship, not on residence, as other modern developed nations do.Section 2. The practice of potentially double-taxing United States citizens simply because they are citizens living in a foreign country violates their rights under both the Eighth (cruel and unusual punishment) and Ninth Amendments (deny and disparage rights, such as opening foreign bank accounts) which denies them to due process of law under the Fifth and Sixth Amendments of the Constitution—in other words—the right to individual privacy, as an extension of the Privacy Act of 1974, which is exactly what FATCA seeks to do, by unlawfully and illegitimately meddling in the internal affairs of a sovereign nation, unless they can satisfy both an American, as well as a foreign judge, that more than sufficient cause exists as part of a legitimate criminal investigation acceptable to the laws of both countries.Section 3. If federal investigators have sufficient cause, they should seek a warrant and follow due process to obtain the information needed so as to secure needed evidence and a legitimate, untainted conviction that holds up on appeal.Section 4. This article shall take effect immediately upon ratification. ***AMENDMENT XXXVIIICONGRESSIONAL SECURITY CLEARANCE AMENDMENTSection 1. Effective the date of ratification, any and all United States Citizens elected to Congress—be it the House of Representatives or the Senate—along with any individual hired as a staff member to either chamber must qualify prior to the beginning of the incoming term of Congress for a security clearance, based on a background investigation. Members of Congress, as well as staff members must qualify for a SECRET security clearance prior to the beginning of the upcoming Congress and the taking of their oaths of office (the following January 3rd), in order to continue employment.Section 2. If for any reason a negative report, specifically one including disqualifying information that could jeopardize national security is received, the incoming member would resign before taking office, and that state’s governor would be immediately notified in order to schedule a special election be held to elect a successor, and that incoming seat would thus become immediately become vacant.Section 3. Once sworn in as Members of Congress, elected senators and representatives would have to have their full special background investigations completed to obtain their final versions of a TOP SECRET security clearance (with renewals every three years) within 12 months, as failure to do so after nine months would restrict their ability to view certain data, be present in, or for certain hearings, would deem them ineligible to perform the full scope of their congressional duties. If not fully cleared for an unrestricted TOP SECRET security clearance after 15 months, then they would be precluded from seeking re-election and be required to stand down at the end of their term, with the governor of their state being so notified.Section 4. This article shall take effect immediately upon ratification. ***AMENDMENT XXXIXRIGHT TO PRIVACY AMENDMENTSection 1. The right to be forgotten—or in other words—the right to individual privacy, as an extension of the Privacy Act of 1974, is extended to include the right to be forgotten online by those seeking to be anonymous, whether online through the Internet, or through other means offline.Section 2. The major search engines—and other online locators—will have 15 calendar days to remove the personal information of those persons who request removal thereof.Section 3. This article shall take effect immediately upon ratification. ***AMENDMENT XLACCUSED RIGHTS PROTECTION AMENDMENTSection 1. Effective the date of ratification, any and all persons accused of crimes against person, especially sex crimes that often, but do not always involve children and which are almost always sensationalized, solely for the purpose of increasing advertising revenues, will have an automatic gag order mandatorily imposed on all parties to the case from moment of initial arrest or indictment until completion of all trials and appeals upholding conviction.Section 2. In such cases that are deemed high profile and where a wide populace is aware of the case, both a change of venue out of the county, as well as the television market will be done for the benefit of the accused, thus protecting the rights of the accused, who is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.The rationale on this is that all too often, innocent people have their lives completely destroyed on suspicion and innuendo alone, with presumption of innocence and truth being the first factors being completely destroyed in the process. Yet despite the presumption of innocence, and the pervasiveness of prejudice within the nation, accused persons must be protected from vigilantes and/or other self-appointed ‘administrators of justice’.Section 3. Upon indictment, the accused will be identified by age and gender only, but not by race. In these cases, shield laws will either be tightened, or activated in all 50 states and territories of the United States so as to protect all parties in criminal matters of a sexual or otherwise nature. Either everybody gets named, or nobody gets named. Feminists cannot have it both ways, as such is both suggestive of cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth Amendment, as well as discriminatory in violation of the equal rights under the law clause of the Fourteenth AmendmentSection 4. This article shall take effect immediately upon ratification. ***“It’s all good and well to focus on leaving the one to go after the ninety and nine; but you cannot go after the one at the expense of the ninety and nine, not to mention identifying and casting out predators who may arise in your midst, so as to preserve, protect, and defend the rest of your flock.”—Timothy Rollins, American-Canadian philosopher, columnist, and stroke survivor (1959-)AMENDMENT XLITRADE SECRET AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PROTECTION AMENDMENT (AIMED AT COMMUNIST CHINA)Thank you for asking, Marie! ***
