I am a dual citizen of the US and UK. I'd like to apply for OCI card since I am eligible through my father. I need to know two things:

1) On the online part A OCI application it only allows space for one citizenship. What should I do?

2) When my application gets approved, can I send in both my US and UK passports for stamps?

Many thanks!

Use the one that has the longer passport validity to make things easier. Your passport # and date are entered in the OCI booklet. When the passport expires, you have to carry the old passport on which the OCI application was made even though you may have renewed the passport. If you want to get that updated, you may have to pay extra fees (I believe above $25) and send in the OCI booklet etc. If you recently acquired a US passport you are good for atleast 10 years.
As for 2, send in the passport that you made your application with. If US passport send in that; If UK then that one. They affix the U visa on the passport on which the application was made from
