If you are on entry VISA to USA, why would you apply PIO? Don't you have Indian passport? If you are a citizen of some other country, then it is best to correspond with NY embassy as restrictions regarding foreign citizens can vary.

If you have an Indian entry visa, and you live in US, there is no reason you can not apply.

It seems that you got US citizenship and then applied Entry visa for India. If you are staying in US and you in past had Indian passport or your parents/grandparents were Indian citizen then you can apply PIO Card or OCI. OCI is better than PIO Card. If you want to apply through NYC Indian consulate then you must be residing in Consulate jurisdiction. If you are staying in India then you can apply directly with Delhi.

(I have corrected my original question. I am on Entry visa in India and not USA]
Thanks Ginnu. You got it right. I am currently in India on Entry Visa for next few months and I would like to apply for PIO while I am away from US for these few months.
