Haha, no I don't have an OCI card, but there's no need to get defensive. I was merely saying that it's easy enough to carry the card and not start a new thread about it since there are ample threads discussing why the Indian government even issues the card if it hardly has any use.
By the way, a friend of mine applied for OCI in Madras and though online it says it was printed and dispatched, he was told by the Madras office that they were still printing it, so who knows what really happens. Also, I think Indonesia is INA or IDN.
the whole discussion is, if the U visa sticker in the passport is all thats enough, i got nothing to worry as the OCI card misprint isnt even coming into the picture. compare it to a situation, where u have been naturalized, and have got your US passport and later you lose the certificate of naturalization.
Do you need a naturalization certificate to prove you are USC
NO- the passport is enough as the proof
do you need to spend money, time and do paperwork to get a new certificate of nat
Its your call what ever makes you happy
now coming back to the OCI booklet and Passport with the U visa sticker.
can a person without an OCI card get a U visa
NO
you cant enter india by just showing the OCI card with a new passport (when the old one has the U visa sticker)
but whats the case when its the other way around, when you have the Uvisa sticker in your passport do you need to have the OCI in hand
DEBATABLE
WILL THE MISMATCH CAUSE ANY ISSUES?
THATS WHAT I LIKE TO KNOW
TAKE THE CASE OF A LPR AND A RE ENTRY PERMIT
a person who has a re entry permit , doesnt even need to show the passport or the GC when entering USA at POE
