Children's (minor's) thumbprint issues?

Hi folks,

I just mailed an OCI application to Houston for my entire family (my wife, myself and my 3 year old daughter).

I am concerned that the thumbprints of my daughter on her application may or may not be clear/legible enough for the application (I don't know yet).

At the last occassion when I applied for my daughter's PIO card, an associate at the bank helped my daughter put her fingers on the inkpad and applied them to her application.
This time, when I applied for her OCI, I was just given an inkpad by an associate at the bank and asked to do it myself, and I'm not sure if I was doing it correctly.

1) Did anyone get back an objection from the Indian consulate or authorities about thumbprints not being clear?
2) What was then done to correct the situation? How long before they tell you if the thumbprints are no good?
3) Should I proactively just send another set of papers for my daughter now, with possibly better thumprints or would I just be shooting myself in the foot and delaying the application?

Thanks!
 
I would just wait to hear from them if they have any problems with prints. Thumbprints are hard to get and they know it. Besides, I don't think they check those against any database.
 
We took our 11 months old son's thumb print our self. It was hard take it from a infant, my wife and I spend at least an hr and used at least 4 copies and still it was not 100% perfect. CGNY acknowledge our applications and it's under process now. They know this, It's difficult to take from small kids.

I would wait and don't do any thing now. If they have problem, they will send you notice. Wait until they acknowledge your applications.

Thanks,
 
No worry.I did mine with same issues as you all still was blur.They accepted it.that should be your least concern.:)
 
Wow, seems like a ridiculous procedure for minors! Maybe this is "common scenario", but first time I hear about this.
They are minors - just process their application without thumb prints etc!
