It is on the home page indiacgny dot org now.

I have obtained US citizenship on April 1st. I applied for OCI and it shows the following status

***********************************************************
Date Of Acknowledgment 27-APR-2010
Application Status
Registration Status Granted On 06-MAY-2010
Photo/Signature Scanned On 01-MAY-2010
Documents Printing Status PRINTED
Documents Printed On 07-MAY-2010
Documents Dispatched to Concerned Mission/Office on NOT DISPATCHED
Documents Received at NEW YORK CGI NOT YET
******************************************************************

I have not canceled the Indian passport yet. I was planning to send it when I send it for U visa sticker on the US passport. Can I still do the same? Do I just include Rs.7000 fee along with the Indian and US passport? Or do I send the form and the Rs. 7000 fee now along with the passport for cancellation?

Also the form indiacgny dot org/UserFiles/File/FORM%20XXII.doc is very ambiguous. Are they saying that an Indian citizen (by birth) need to sign/attest the document? Can a friend who is an Indian citizen do it?

Please help.

p.s. replace dot with . to get teh actual URLs. This is my first post and I cannot post urls yet.
 
This new requirement was issued yesterday and it seems that so far only NY consulate in the US has this requirement. Indian missions in UK have already started collecting this fee for renunciation of Indian citizenship.

I don't know if you need to go through this, try to contact the consulate (and good luck in getting thru to someone there!)
