OCI and TN Visa

[Udupi]

Dear TNs'

I am Canadian Citizen and from Indian Origin, working in USA on TN Visa status.

I am planning to get Overseas Citizenship of India, it is known as Dual Citizenship of India, We will get Indian Passport, and Visa Stamping "Lifelong Visa" in Canadian Passport. Does any Canadian Citizen applied for OCI? By getting OCI Status be any problem to get NEW TN in future?

any suggestions appreciated.

OCI is NOT Dual Citizenship. It gives you a life-long visa to visit, stay and work (with some restrictions) in India. You will NOT get an Indian Passport. As far as I know it should not affect your TN visa status. My wife is Canadian citizen and her green card status is not affected after getting her OCI.
