Hi,

I am preparing to apply for OCI for the family (me, spouse, kid1 and kid2)

Do I need to send the adreess proof along the application i.e., sending the copy fo Driving licence (me or my wife) along with application?

I didn't see it mentioned any where, just curios.

Those who have applied already, Please clarify..

Thanks,
SRK
 
Already they ask so many details. So many documents/duplicates/ for every applicant 9see sticky threads).

Why complicate by sending unasked stuffs. Keep it simple!
 
Thanks for clarifications..

I have another question regarding the passport size photo's:

Does Photo's took at COSTCO with almost white background is okay??

We took (for the family of 4) the photo's at COSTCO.( So many 5 for each as I am sending to Washington DC.).

Now I read on the web at Washington DC site.. photos background SHOULD NOT be white. The photo's we took have almost white back ground.

Does this matter?? I am thinking of sending as it is as I don't have much energy left..

Please clarify...

Thanks!!

I don't know of anyone whose photographs got rejected because they were not the right size or they had a white background. Mine were the 2"x2" standard US passport size and had a white background and I had no problems.

I send in same pictures that I send for my us passport.Dont sweat it.I took my son's pictures from coscto as well.Your good.
 
Thanks for the responses.

I printed the part A and B.

I got two empty pages in between along with instructions of part B when printed (total 11 pages) as I am filing as a family.

I am wondering whether to send the blank pages and instructioons also along with the application. (As pages specifically have "1 of 11", "2 of 11" etc)

Finally, I believe I can staple Form A and B together, right?
I didn't see anywhere that says SHOULD not staple though..

Thanks a lot!!

dude4mrestonva,

How about the instructions at the end of the part b, did u sent those also?

What I mean stapling is: staple form A and B i.e, 4 pages of Part A (1 for each family member) and Part B. Can these be stapled together?

I am definetly not stapling enclosures, will use the paper clip.

Thanks for your time..

Don't send the instructions pages. There is no need for that. I also did not send it, and got my OCI without any issues.
