    need help with tracking OCI status (SFO)

    Did you get an email from BLS requesting your passport? Looks like BLS got the OCI documents from GOI on Feb 13th. Contact them - search this forum for an email address to someone at SFO consulate and send them a message.

    US Passport Lost with U Visa - Can I apply for Tourist Visa on New US PP

    We haven't - the best you can do is to call up the Indian Consulate and ask them directly. Do you have a photocopy of the lost US PP? Not sure if carrying that would help incase you are unable to get tourist visa.

    URGENT: OCI minor application for tourist visa - no time for OCI re-issue

    You can travel with old passport which has the sticker and new passport - you may get delayed but shouldn't prevent you from entering the country. Come back and post so we all know how it went.

    For US Born Child - Why is PIO better?

    It doesn't matter if you have PIO or OCI - everytime you get a new (foreign) passport PIO has to be re-endorsed or OCI needs to be re-issued and they both have similar fees. As of 02/22/2014: PIO re-endorsement Fee = $27.70 OCI Re-issue Fee = $32.70

    For US Born Child - Why is PIO better?

    What's incorrect? Who said anything about 'New PIO' ? PIO card or OCI card needs to be re-issued or endorsed every-time you get a new passport. PIO: http://www.visa.blsindia-usa.com/pioNewPassportEndorsement.php OCI; http://www.visa.blsindia-usa.com/OciReissueNewPassword.php

    OCI Checklist for Minor

    Not necessary. Parents have to sign and get Part B notarized if a Minor cannot sign. We did not complete #34 however signed the section under it and got it notarized. The online tracking says the documents were dispatched to the consulate - will keep posted if that's returned.
