Filing for OCI - name changed USC

linuxrox

Registered Users (C)
Got my USC with name change. Have the court issued name change document with me.
The name on my Indian passport is longer form of my current first name.
Looking up the OCI website, the below caught my eye:

Name Change

IF YOUR NAME IN YOUR US PASSPORT IS DIFFERENT FROM THE ONE IN THE INDIAN PASSPORT:

a. In case of name change due to marriage please submit notarized copy of the marriage certificate and first 2 pages of spouse passport

b. Otherwise YOU ARE REQUIRED TO ADVERTISE CHANGE OF NAME IN A NEWSPAPER IN YOUR LOCALITY IN USA, AND IN INDIA.

c. In both a and b cases please COMPLETE AND NOTARIZE THE CHANGE OF NAME (pdf file) AFFIDAVIT.


Did anyone apply for OCI with a name change ?
Does the embassy accept the name change document issued by US court ?
Is there a need to go down the path of advts in indian and US papers ?
