I wrote my RTI Application for my parents and wife by myself on a plain paper. Few points relating to how to file the RTI Application for Passport :

 • Right to Information Act does not specify any particular format for RTI Application. This has been done deliberately to avoid any confusion and bureaucracy of the government officials. Still some state do have their own format. Jharkhand, had its own format but that is a suggestion not mandate. I did not use any particular format.

My spouse applied for US B1 / B2 VISA online. Jotting down the steps for applying the US VISA for spouse online :

 [1] Determine your US Consular district from New Delhi, Chennai, Mumbai, Kolkata and Hyderabad. Since we live at Jharkhand , for us it was Kolkata.

 [2] Request your marine company to send a joining letter for your spouse on a particular ship. The letter from the marine company should have :
   • Name of the Applicant (your spouse name)
   • be addressed to desired US Visa Consulate
   • name of the merchant ship joining
   • tentative date of joining
   • US Port from where your spouse will board ship (non-US port might raise few extra questions so avoid it !!)
   • Agent details at the joining port and
   • a note that your marine-company will take care of all the joining process and expenses.
