OCI Re-issue (CGNY) - passport # change - Questions

[baven]

I have to renew OCI cards for my kids as their old U.S. passport expired 2 weeks back. They also got their new passports, but I need some info in filling up the OCI application (basically re-issue of OCI because of the passport number change).

I went to this site : https://passport.gov.in/oci/OnlineOCIMiscMain.jsp

//I filled up old passport # here...
Passport No. as in your OCI Card * : --------------------------------

//filled the oci info from the old passport/oci card
U-Visa No # ------ OCI Regn. No # --------- OCI File No # ---------

D.O.B, Place of Birth and Mother's name ------ filled up all the info...

QUESTION 1 : The next screen also showed a passport # and it filled that space with the OLD passport number.. Do I have to modify that to NEW passport # with the new issue date and place???

It finally comes up with the pre-filled form and with USANK***** id.


When I went to this site next :

https://indiavisa.travisaoutsourcing...form/section-1 :

QUESTION 2 : it's asking for "Consulate ID/Reference No.*".. What is this? Is this the id USANK***** generated from the previous site ?


QUESTION 3 : I don't have to register anything in this site
https://passport.gov.in/oci/OnlineOCIRegistrationG.jsp, right?

Question 4 : There are two signature lines at the bottom of the "OCI Misc form", I need to sign the second one (signature of parent/guardian), do I have to ask my kid to make a thump print on a first one? or can I sign there too?

Thanks for the help.

That would be correct.

I am not sure about the answers to the other questions, and you should perhaps wait for someone else to respond.[maybe ginnu]

Is there something similar to be done for the PIO card as well. I have a child who is american born and a US citizen and has a PIO card. The child has a new passport and plans to travel to India end of May. Is this a problem. Thanks.

Not needed, PIO is valid for 15 years. You might be expected to carry both passports along with PIO card.

you can carry Child US expired passport and New passport and PIO Card. if you wish then Indian consulate can write the New US passport number on PIO card and then no need take old passport.

--No

----- Both Parents must sign (also write the names XXXX father/mother of Child ABC
***Nothing wrong if Kid also make thump print or write his/her name But Parents have to sign with names.
Thanks for the help.

You can also talk to Travisa for any clarifications.

Travisa in NY is one hell hole... We have to stop CGNY using Travisa...

I had nothing but horrible experience with Travisa, if I look back, I feel CGNY processing was a heaven or paradise on earth.

This has been my first experience with CGINY/Travisa in NY, and I agree that the process is terrible. My sent my renunciation on April 5, and it has been pending at the consulate since May 2!
