Finally my family (me, spouse & 3 year old minor son) OCI cards arrived at Chicago Consulate.
1.With initial application, I paid the mailing charges to return the cards but now thinking about collecting tham in person at Chicago consulate. Will I face any issues with the change in the plans?
2. Do I need to get authorization letter from my wife? Since I was the primary applicant, Is it necessary to get this letter? Assuming that authorization not needed for my minor son. Let me know your experience.
3. I need to cancel my son's PIO card while collecting OCI card. Will they do that on the same day?
