How many photographs are required for OCI application in Washington DC?

I looked at the DC Indian embassy site on 05/18 and it mentioned 2 photographs glued on part A form and one attached to the envelop.

I see that some people have submitted 5 photos with thier OCI application to Washington D.C. They have glued 2 photos to each copy of part a form?

I see a place holder for only one photo on part A form. We are submitting 2 sets of part A form. This totals to 2 phots, Then we include one photo in the envelop. This totals to 3 photos in all. So I interpret it as 3 photos.

Can somebody help please?
 
1 Glued on each copy and 3 in an envelop, with 1 signed on the back ... thats what I did ... it wouldn't matter though, if they want to waste your time, they will find any reason to do that :)
 
I'll send in 5 photographs to play safe

I'd rather not take a chance, so I will send in 5 pictures, 1 glued on each set (adds up to 2) and 3 extra in the envelope.

By the way, if anyone wants to get the docs notarized, then you can get it done at the UPS store. All bank notary reps were duds, they refused to notarize the passport copy while the UPS guy took the copy on his pre-made form stating that he is notiarizing my signature. The bank reps couldn't even do that.
 
Number of photos - 2? or 4? or 5? - Washington DC

Have the requirements changed for number of photos to be sent with OCI application since May 2010?

On the OCI order form now it states:
3. Two (2) passport sized photos. Photos are required to be recent, identical, sized 2 inches by 2 inches, in color, depicting front pose against light background on photographic paper. Do not wear glasses in the photo. Detailed information about photos can be viewed at OCI Photo Instructions.
14. Two (2) Copies of all Required Documents - You must submit two (2) copies of all application forms and required documents. All copies should be self-attested with a statement that 'This is a true copy of the original' and your signature.

Does it mean I have to send 4 photos or 2, obviously not 5?

Two. One on each copy of the application. You can send more if you like, but they will not return the extra ones.
 
I'm filing as a family of 4, me being the main applicant. When I filled the Part A form online for all of us(myself+applicant1+applicant2+applicant3), I got printouts of the part A form for each of us. When I submit paperwork for OCI, partA for each applicant of family, does it mean that the 4 printouts I took, count as one set. SO my part A set has 16 pages??
Please help.

Thank you
