OCI Eligibility for USA born child
Hi there,
Thanks everyone for your inputs. This is really helpful.
1. paran96281 - you mentioned in your last comment that OCI is preferred when compared to PIO card. I checked in some places and found that overseas born children are NOT ELIGIBLE for OCI.. Isn't this true?
2. Next doubt: I understand that USA Passport + OCI/PIO will give the child an NRI equivalent status. Does this mean that in schools/colleges, we will end up paying NRI fees (usually extremely high) and will the child not be eligible for General Merit seats?
Thanks and looking forward for an answer.
