Here is what is needed:
For Each Applicant:
Set1: PartA, PartB, Supporting documents
Set2: PartA, PartB, Supporting documents.
You will end up with lot of duplicate documents, but that is what they want. Make the two sets as I mentioned above (each set should look independent of each...
They did not ask for self attestation of DL. Self Attestation is only for Item #8 (which happen to be copies of passports).
Your application should be fine
You still have lot of time left. Once they acknowledge the application it should not take more than 10 days to get OCI (atleast that is my experience)
I would say Wait until July end and if you see your application is still not acknowledge then pay a visit to Consulate to probe more.
That is what I did. You will get back all your passports along with OCI.
To be on safer side, make copies of the indian passports as you never know what they might ask in future.
Your cashier's check is fine dont worry about it.
for each applicant:
SET1: PartA, PartB, Supporting documents
Set2: PartA, PartB, Supporting documents
If you are enclosing any originals as supporting documents in Set1, Then place a copy of it in Set2.

Only certain items needs self attestation. If you look at the cgisf website they have mentioned which items need self attestation.
Yes they need the original Surender Certificate
I submitted first 2 and last 2 pages of current Indian Passport as well as the first 2 and last 2 and the US visa page from the Original Indian Passport used to enter USA.
US visa page means page containing US visa in the passport. They dont care about the immigration officer stamp.
For Each...
1. Do I send the original US passports with the OCI application?
That is your choice. If you do not send it with application, they will ask for it when they have the documents back from Delhi.
2. Do I send the original renunciation form with the passport cancellation stamp (I guess this is...
I guess you should be fine. They do understand how big and complicated Indian names can be. As long as all the names exist on indian and US passport (in any order), it should be ok. Just explain them in the cover letter as well as a note on the passports saying what your actual name is (last...
