Hello,

I know some people have questions about this. So I will post my experience here. I have applied for OCI Re-Issue for my daughter due to her getting a new passport. I saw the travel advisory on the Travisa web site and I did not want to take any chances of my wife being harassed at the airport in INDIA . So I applied for my Daughter OCI-Reissue.
Below is the timeline. I will post the updates as I get them.

I probably provided more documents then they needed. I did not want them to come back for anything and have this process take more time. Below is the list.

1. Travisa Order Form and $40 dollar cashier check made out to "Travisa Outsourcing".
2. OCI Misc form from Indian Site.
3. 2 Photos (1 photo pasted on OCI Misc Form and one loose separately)
4. Copies of the new US Passport (make sure you make copies of all information pages and endorsement pages)
5. Original Expired US passport with copies of information page and the U visa sticker.
6. Original OCI card with copies of registration page and information page.
7. Copies of both parents renunciation certificate ( I think this was not needed but I sent them anyway).
8. Proof of Address (copies of mother and father driver license and Original electric bill).

I will be picking up the passport and OCI in person from Travisa once everything is done. I am using UPS to send the document to Travisa.

Hope this helps.
 
OCI India website?

Rajiv,

What is the OCI India website?
Is it different from Travisa? Can you post the URL?
