Questions about OCI In Lieu of PIO for minor

[tagetg]

Hello,

Here is my situation:

- My minor son is a citizen of USA by birth. He got his PIO in 2013.
- I and my wife became naturalized citizens of USA in 2019
- I recently submitted the OCI applications for me and my wife a few weeks ago. The process is not complete and we are waiting for our OCIs.

I am now intending to submit the "OCI in Lieu of PIO" for my son while our OCI applications (that of the parents) are pending. My questions are:

- What documents should I upload to the government website?
- What documents should I submit with the physical application to CKGS?

For the documents to upload, I do see the list on some forum posts:

- Birth certificate of minor applicant
- Parents' Indian passport
- Marriage certificate of minor applicant's parents

I don't think this list is applicable to us, especially the Indian passport, as our Indian passports are not valid anymore.

Any help appreciated.
