The web site states that people of Indian origin who are US citizens and are applying for visitor visa for the first time need to submit a renunciation application to renounce their Indian citizenship as well as submit a request to cancel and return their Indian passport.

The renunciation form is quite confusing. Who needs to fill & sign the second page? And, does it need to be notarized?

I need to visit India within a month, I plan to come back and start the application for OCI. Woud renouncing the Indian citizenship affect OCI processing in any way?

Thanks!
 
I too am in the same boat and I called Travisa at Houston and they said right now they do not require the renunciation form since it is not clear. Just send in your Indian passport along with the visa application and they should cancel it automatically. Good luck.
 
Hi,

I was confused too. What I did was to get it signed by a collegue of mine and sent it. They cancelled the passport and sent it back. I did not notarize it.

Thanks,
