My OCI Online Status shows that the OCI is granted and the documents are received at Houston on Oct 22, 2010. I checked the instructions again and found that I also need to send the Renunciation Form with Indian Passport for cancellation. Can I send the Renunciation form (for surrender certificate) along with the original US Passport (for OCI “U” Visa stamp), together ?

FYI, I had applied for the OCI with Acknowledgement Date of 05 May 2010, i.e. before the cgihouston.org/NEWADVISORY.doc dated 01 Jun 2010, which states:
(ii) Those who acquired foreign citizenship on or before 31 May 2010 but have not got their Indian passports cancelled, may send their Indian passports for cancellation along with 2 copies of the Renunciation Form and a ‘miscellaneous services’ fee of US$ 20 only. Passport will be returned to the applicant after cancellation, along with the Surrender Certificate.

Thanks,
PS
 
unless you are in a major hurry, i suggest you do the renunciation independent of oci. confusing them with un-neessary work is not a winning strategy.
others may have better advice on real life experiences...
 
The best course is to personally visit the consulate in the morning 0900-1230 , submit oci approval us pp and renunciation application with $20/- fee and last indian pp. you will get everything back in the evening by 4.00 pm.

So once the approval is done in Delhi, instead of mailing the US ppts can one visit the embassy in DC to get it done?

No you have to wait for docs to be received at your consulate/embassy. Watch status on line.
 
I meant once it is recd. in DC, can I personally go to DC office or have to do it by mail only?
