OCI Application for minor and no thumb impression

[MasterUSA]

I mailed the OCI application to CGI New York for my minor son today but did not get his thumb impression in the signature box and the application has my signature on my sons behalf at the end of the application the signature box at the beginning of the application is blank.

Unlike the PIO application form the OCI application Form A does not ask for Signature/Thumb Impression but only for Signature so I over looked getting the thumb impression on the application.

Does anyone know if thumb impression is a must for minor child? What will happen in my case?

Thanks everybody.

After posting this thread yesterday I also sent an e-mail to CGI,NY asking for clarification.

I got a response today and it says it is OK if there is no thumb impression for the minor child. The OCI application for my minor son will be accepted.

So parents need not sweat getting finger prints of little babies(I know it is tough to hold them still) and you have heard a first hand experience straight from the Consulate General India of New York.
