No your children are NOT eligible for OCI. Govt. of India changed/updated the rules after sometime the OCI was started. They qualify to get the PIO cards. Actually PIO card is a less expensive option for the children, $155 vs. $275 for OCI. If and when either you or your spouse becomes US citizen, you can upgrade the children's PIO card to OCI for additional $25 each.
 
Finally the saga is over. Today we received our ( 3 - me,wife and daughter) US passports stamped with U visa and also 3 OCI "passports". Now no more headaches going to US or India.....
 
Feb 22nd- Got a call from the consulate- my 2 daughters photos were overexposed (too bright) to scan, so I have to send photos again for them. Mine were OK. Got all the photos from Walgreens the first time. will try Kinko's this time.

question

I had filled my application online in January and finally got a chance to fill out the paper form and mailed it on February 7th 2007, pur usps the mail was received on 9th..
When I check my status online using the number starting w/ USASiXXXXXXX its stating that Application not Acknowledged yet...
Does anyone know is this status showing up?

I was reading through the thread and noticed that many of you have sended different number of photos... I sended 2, will it be rejected?
 
Hello GSitlani,
If there us any issue with photographs, consulate will call you.
I have sent in 2(+2 glued to application form) i.e. 4 photos per applicant as well
FYI: I sent in my app on Feb 28th. I don't see acknowledgment on CGISF website. Typically it takes anywhere between 3 to 6 weeks for acknowledgment to show up on website.
