OCI - New
Do they still need original US passport for new OCI ? Why do they need original US passport when they don't have to stick anything to the US passport. They don't put "U" visa sticker on US passport anymore.
I got my kids OCI in lieu of PIO at NY CGI, and to my surprise they issues OCI same day they received the application. CKGS appears to be main bottleneck, they take longer than actual consulate.
June 26 - Mailed applications
June 27 - CKGS received it
June 28 - CKGS verified it
June 30 - CKGS delivered to NY CGI
June 30 - Applications acknowledged and OCI issued at NY CGI
July 3 - CKGS picked up OCI and cancelled PIO
July 6 - CKGS mailed OCI and cancelled PIO
July 7 - Received OCI and cancelled PIO
I was on the fence for almost 2 years whether to get OCI in lieu PIO for minors and OCI has a requirement that you get reissued OCI every time kids get new passport till they are age of 20, finally decided that let's do it. I am not planning to get OCI reissued every time kids get new passport for sure. Maybe will get it reissued once they are 20, as by then their appearance may have changed a lot.
