First thing- there is no such thing as Indian Dual Citizenship - Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) is the closest thing. She can apply, she just needs proof that she is married to you and you have Indian citzenship - and take the completed forms into a consulate. I will wait till after Jan 10 or till it is operational just in case you find yourself waiting one year +++ like I have!

You know the legislation actually says that Indian Citizens can apply for OIC as well!!! Don't know what that means but I think it is a waste of money as you need to pay $275 x 2 and it gives no benefits to Indian Citizen NRIs.

Best thing, she should apply as Individual, and just photocopy and self attest the relevant papers: Her passport page, your passport page, your marriage certificate.
