Hello all,

We are about to submit our OCI application to the Houston CGI. Kindly
let us know if our documents are in order. I did read the sticky post on this forum, but still wanted to confirm I got everything right.

Dad and mom are naturalized USC's. Child is a USC by birth.

Set 1:

Form A-Dad (Dad's photo pasted)
Form A-Mom (Mom's photo pasted)
Form A-Child (Child's photo pasted and child's left thumb impression)
Form B-Common for all.

Dad docs:
Self attested copy of first 3 and last 2 pages of Indian passport.
Self attested copy of first 2 and last 2 pages of US passport.

Mom docs:
Self attested copy of first 3 and last 2 pages of Indian passport.
Self attested copy of first 2 and last 2 pages of US passport.

Child docs:
Dad attested copy of first 2 and last 2 pages of US passport.
Dad attested copy of Birth certificate.
Dad attested copy of first 3 and last 2 pages of Dad's Indian passport.
Mom attested copy of first 3 and last 2 pages of Mom's Indian passport.

Set 2:
Duplicate set 1 above.

Additional items:
(a) Photo Envelope 1 (contains 3 Dad's photos)
(b) Photo Envelope 2 (contains 3 Mom's photos)
(c) Photo Envelope 3 (contains 3 Child's photos)
(d) 1 Cashiers check for $885. Calculated as:
Application fee: $275 * 3 = $825
Mailing fee: $ 20 * 3 = $60

Questions:
(a) Can I mail all above documents for both sets in 1 envelope addressed to CGI-Houston?

Thank you
BJR

Looks fine, except I don't think you need to multiply the $20 mailing fee by 3 - a single $20 fee for returning your family's docs would suffice and save you $40. And yes, you can (need to, actually) send both sets in one envelope.
