i will take both my passports with me just in case they ask . do they normally ask ? do i have to give both the passports along with the papers ? or wait till they ask . what does people generally do ?
thanks
You should always carry all your passports together. Submit both
of them at the Consulate window. Normally they are stapled
together.(last page of new passport to the first page of expired
passport)

Answer: Yes, you will need to get 2 seperate affidavits of birth from 1 from each parent, or from family members such as elder siblings/ relatives like uncle, aunts. This Affidavit needs to be on a Rs. 20 stamp paper which you can get from any lawyer in India. I am including a affidavit template (attachment) that I used which you can have typed on your affidavits. Get it signed by your parents/ relatives and then notarized by lawyer.
2) It is also written " if you are married, your passport should be amended to reflect your marriage.

Answer: I have personally not done this although i have been married for 3+ years and expecting October interview coz
my lawyer told me that existing passports along with marriage certificates will work. Endorsing spouses name on each others passports can be done when you apply for passport extensions. This is what my lawyers told me.

Is this kind of certificate is enough as a PCC . In packet 3 they have mentioned that PCC has to obtained from police authorities of that area .
Answer: My impression is that BURMA PCC should be sufficient as long as it follows the similar text as in India PCC stating that you had not police record in Burma during your stay. I got a certificate from CG India NY office stating something similar. But you may want to take someone elses opinion on this.
4) do we need a local PCC from India? we are getting one from Indian Embassy . is this ok . or do i have to ask my family in India to get a local PCC from there .
Answer: Mumbai Consulate site explicitly states only 1 pcc from Indian Embassy should be sufficient as long as it was issued less than or equal to 6 months prior to the interview.
