do US-born children or non-Indian spouse of OCI holders get OCI status?
:confused: ...when the child was born years after the parents have been US
citizens... or when a OCI-holder marries a non-Indian, say German-American,
does the spouse get OCI status?


(sorry, I'm not from India, but I've often wondered about this question....) :)
