I guess it wouldn't hurt to take both. A friend of mine who went recently wasn't asked for his Indian PP.
I sent in mine by mail and my Indian PP wasn't cancelled.

OIC Apllication to NY Mission
Hi All
I will be applying for OIC for Self, Wife and son very soon. Please advice if the documents I am attaching are Ok, or am I missing something
1. Forms:
Part A and Part B in duplicate (with original sign (self & wife) and thumb print for the kid)
On Part B Question 21: "Address of the Employer" - Is that what they want. If so what do you write for Minor Kid?
2. Photos
I am pasting one photo each on 2 copies of Part A.
Do I need to send additional Photos?
3. Money Order
I am Attaching 3 money orders ($275 each)
4. Required Documents (Self Attested)
Self - Copy of Indian Passport; Copy of American Passport
Wife - Copy of Indian Passport, Copy of American Passport
Son - American Passport
Are these douments enough?
5. Indian Passport Cancellation
When do we cancel our indian Passports (if required at all)
Can we do it at the time of OIC visa sticker stamping?
Any suggestions, Advice is greatly appreciated.
Thank you

How long is too long?
Online enquiry shows my OCI documents were received at NEW YORK CGI on 01/03/2008. But I still haven't had the chance to personally make that trip to the Consulate.
Does any one know how long can we trust the Consulate to keep the OCI? I may not be able to pick it up this month at all. I'm not comfortable sending my US PP by mail. Not sure what the procedure is either.
Has any one had any issues when picking OCI up a couple of months or so after it was received in NY?

I don't think it should be a problem. The NY CGI site has a huge list of names of people whose OCIs had been approved in the previous year but who have not collected them yet.

Not sure why you are uncomfortable mailing your passports. I did it twice, once for my wife and myself and then for my son. Had no issues at all.

7 - 10 days.
I sent in my passports for cancellation/stamping of OCI on Jan 8th and haven't received any communication yet. Generally how long does it take ? My OCI was received on Jan 3rd at CGNY. Thanks.
Do I send my (and wife's) Indian Passport for Cancellation with My OCI Application, OR can I do at the time of OCI sticker stamping?
You can do it at the time of the OCI stamping.

I did mail my OCI application on January 3rd. Yesterday the acknowledgement date come as 01/29/2008. Status is "UNDER PROCESS" Anyone know what does it means? How Do they comunicate if document is missing or Photograph is not proper? Acknowledge means all papers are OK?
One more question. I did apply OCI for myself, My wife and my child. When I send passport in one mail I need to send $20 or $60($20 * 3)?
Thanks!

Hi ampen,
thanks for the reply. when do you say acknowledged do you mean they sent you a receipt?
My dates are around the same time as yours and I have not heard from them yet and to top it all, I had this confusion with USPS about mail missent etc.
