To all,
my hubby is a USC, born here. He has no indian ancestry. I am an indian citizen. Was wondering if i could file OCI for him? this way we can go to india without bothering about visa, and also for investments, property etc.
Do i have to be a US citizen to apply for him?

please let me know, if he is eligible.
i will be filing in NY if i could do it.

thanks in advance!!

Only former Indian citizens or people of Indian ancestry are eligible for OCI. However, spouse of Indian citizen is eligible for a PIO card, which is as good as OCI for the purposes you described. So you can apply for a PIO card for him.
