I'm getting ready to send in my OCI application to Indian Consulate in Chicago. I wanted to check with you before I ship out my application. It's for my spouse and I:

a) I have Part A (me) + Part A (spouse) + Part B + Passport copies (current and previous nationality) [2 such sets]

b) Three additional photos attached to Part A of each applicant (1st set only)

c) Cashier's check for the amount $571 [275+20+275+1]

Some questions:
1) Do you recommend a cover letter ?
2) Do I need to notarize the US and Indian passport copies ?
3) Do I need to include copy of birth certificates ? (we're both born in India)
4) Copy of naturalization certificate ?
5) Include Indian passports for cancellation ? or should I wait until the U Visa is received at the consulate ?

Thanks all !
 
I think procedure for all indian consulate are some what different. I am in newyork and I have sent following
A)Seperate application for mine and my wife's
b) two photos attached to application and one extra
c) Copy of US passport
D) Copy of Indian Passport
E) Fees for $275 each

did not sent cover .
self attesting of copy of your document is fine.
no need for naturalization certificate
You can get your passport canceled when you send your us passport for visa stamp.

Again OCI is not appoved yet. so take word from some who does
 
Thanks for your response. And yes, I'm aware that procedures differ from consulate to consulate. I initially posted this question in the Chicago tracker - got no response so I decided to post it in the main thread.
