Questions on OCI Card for Minor US born
Can somebody answer the below questions for a minor child OCI application:
1. Do we have to apply for renunciation for a US born minor child with the US Passport, there is no Indian Passport to surrender? (both parents indian citizens)
2. To upload the photo in the online application, Can i use the scan of the Passport size photo as specified in specifications?
3. For a minor child the signature upload is it just a finger print scan on a white paper?
4. Do we have to get the child Birth certificate notarized?

OCI Application - Mission Location
Hi all,
Per the recent memo, it seems we can now apply for the OCI in any mission in the US. Has anyone in the SF jurisdiction applied to a different location (like NY)? I am going to be applying for my OCI, but I would rather apply to a location with faster processing times.
Thanks.

OCI Application stuck in status - Application ‘Received’ by CKGS and 'Not Verified'.
I submitted my OCI application along with supporting documents via FedEx which were delivered to CKGS San Francisco on Feb 03, 2020. And I got a text confirmation from CKGS about the same.
However, for the past two days, my application is still in status ‘Received’ by CKGS and 'Not Verified'. Looking at the other applicants timeline and my own experience with Renunciation, it generally does not take CKGS more than a day to verify the documents and update the status of verification.
Any other applicant went through this same experience at SF or any other US office? Thanks!

OCI Application at CKGS Chicago
I am 19 years old, a US Born Citizen. My father is Indian citizen with US Green card, and my mother is currently US Citizen and she was previously a Indian citizen. However she does not have canceled Indian passport only surrendered Indian citizenship certificate.
Also I do not have my grandparents information as they are not around.
Is it possible for me to get OCI based on my fathers Indian citizenship and my mother has US Citizenship and only Indian Surrendered Certificate?
