How to apply OCI with FNU
Hi,

Can someone with FNU, please share how did u apply for OCI?
My Indian passport just had single name and it was changed to ‘Unknown’ as first name and my single name as Surname in the US passport. Now Indian embassy has refused to print ‘Unknown’ as first name on my OCI and asking me to get it corrected on US passport. So, don’t know how to approach!

Will airline accept expired PIO card?
My 20 year old son has expired PIO card and also the expired passport for which it was issued.

I understand it is valid till September 30, 2019

But will airline accept this as valid visa to travel to India?

I wanted to get OCI card for him after he turns 21. Process is complicated for those under 21.

Thanks

Travel on a new US passport with PIO card attached to an expired US passport
Hi,

We are planning a trip to India in 2 weeks. My daughter has a new US passport and a PIO card that is attached to an expired US passport. Can she still travel on the PIO card if we carry both the new and expired US passport ?

Please let me know.

Thanks.

PIO Card for Minor
Hi, my daughter born in 2012 in USA. We moved to India in 2013. PIO card expired and US passport expired in 2017. We renewed her US passport from US embassy in Mumbai. I assume she will have no problem travelling to US but how about coming back to India. We are travelling to US in June 2019 for a month. Please suggest.

As per announcement on Mar 28, 2019, https://www.in.ckgs.us/resources/pdf/pio/press-release-pio-2019.pdf, PIO card validity seems to have been extended until Sep 30, 2019.

Various websites seems to be rolling out the changes slowly.

PIO card validity after 31st March 2019
As you all already know that handwritten/Machine readable PIO card is getting discontinued after 31st March 2019. My daughter(minor) is currently in India and have Handwritten PIO card issued in 2013 and valid upto 2018. Due to family emergency we could not convert PIO to OCI earlier and now the deadline is 31st March 2019 (15 days from now). She would need probably exit permit when leaving to the USA from India sometime in May 2019.

Would someone suggest what are the options considering the situation? What will happen when PIO gets discontinued after 31st March 19, would they allow to board the flight to the USA? Are there any issues getting an exit permit?
