OCI Card for Foreign Spouse of PIO/NRI
I just want to share my story to encourage any foreign spouses applying for an OCI on the basis of their marriage to a person of Indian origin. My husband and I were unsure if I was really eligible for the OCI, since I had no prior affiliation with India before marrying him. I was born in the USA, and my ancestors were from Germany and Ireland. Basically, I am a white American. Perhaps it seems obvious that I could apply for an OCI, but we could find few examples of spouses like myself applying for an OCI.
My husband is an NRI. We submitted copies of our marriage certificate (had just completed two years), birth certificates, passports, notarized affidavit of marriage, etc. I signed all photocopies with my name and the date and the statement, "I attest that this is a true copy of the original." We sent the documents to Washington, D.C. on January 16, 2017, and I just received my OCI on May 17, 2017!
