Hi all,
It appears to me document requirement for OCI in lieu of PIO for minor is excessive.
The fact that applicant (minor) is of Indian origin is already established and documentation was already submitted for PIO.
Then why do they need following:
Also, why San Francisco doesn't need any original documents but all other offices do? For proof of address lease is acceptable only for Atlanta, Houston and New York. I can't believe there is no consistency at least for one country (US).
Thanks

Then why do they need following:
- Parents marriage certificate
- Parents passport and OCI CardsHeading of item 7 in check list says "Passport OR OCI card". But in list it states "if parents have OCI cards, it is mandatory to provide copies of OCI cards as well"
- Birth certificate (of applicant)
- Parents proof of renunciationIf parents already have OCI card then why is this needed?
- Proof of addressUtility bills are most likely going to be under one parent only
Also, why San Francisco doesn't need any original documents but all other offices do? For proof of address lease is acceptable only for Atlanta, Houston and New York. I can't believe there is no consistency at least for one country (US).
Thanks
