HI all, I have received my OCI card, and was wondering if there is any other step required after getting the card(passport). Do we need some sticker on the US passport as well which indicates that we can go to India and come back on that sticker? OR is OCI the only document that you require?

please let me know since I will be traveling to India in early Dec.

thanks in advance.

please check your US PP there should be a OCI sticker with visa stamp on it. If the consulate has forgotten it is a serious mistake. Get it rectified immediately.

OCI card is not honored by immigration authorities in India and they look for OCI sticker in your US PP only. In the event of renewal of your US PP, please take with you the old PP with OCI sticker.
 
Agree with madh4, you definitely should have an OCI visa sticker in the US passports. (Visa type U. Validity Lifelong.) The visa number except for the first letter should be same as OCI card #. If they did not do it, you need to get it fixed. However, this is unusual, and I presume you just overlooked this in the US passport.
