Can we submit one cashier's cheque for the whole family ? Or do they need seperate cashier's cheque for each applicant
I submitted two postal moneyorders for family. 1 for OCI fee $825 ($275 * 3) and 1 for Surrender Certificate fee $525 ( $175 * 3). My app is under processing. I guess YES you can submit one for the whole family
OCI documents question
Question regarding documentation for OCI
Item 7:
7. Please provide one:
Two Colour legible photocopies (original may be asked for, if required) of Green Card
or
Two Colour legible photocopies (original may be asked for, if required) of EAD
or
Original Indian passport on which first time entered USA
or
Original I-130 and supporting documents provided at the time of obtaining immigrant visa to enter the USA
or
If applicant is US/ Foreign born, pl. provide two colour photocopies of the birth certificate (In this case, pl. provide documents as per OPTION B at S. No. 8 below)
Item8:
OPTION A
LAST INDIAN PASSPORT HELD IN ORIGINAL
I do not have the color copies of green card. Hence I will be sending the original Indian Passport used to enter US (containing F1, H1b visa stamps)
However I only carried one Indian passport at any point of time. Hence for me Item 7 and Item 8 are same.
Is it fine if I mention that point and include the copy of passport copy for Item7 and the original passport for Item 8?

I sent my OCI package (returned once for SC) on 06/08. CGI-SF received it on 06/10. Today I see my application is acknowledged.
I changed my first name during USC but sent all crazy documentation/news paper ads they asked for. I also sent my US and all (3) my Indian passports along with OCI package.

Has anyone sent OCI + SC application together?
Do they accept it? cause of one of the required documents for OCI application is Surrender certificate.

YES. I submitted SC + OCI applications together as per new OCI checklist. They have accepted and current application status is "Granted".
Today we got our SC back. They sent back me and my wife's SC and cancelled PP But not my son's (indian born) PP or the SC. Guess there is always a surprise from CGI. Problem is now I don't have any way to prove that we did renounce for my son and paid for that as well. Also another problem is applying OCI for him. How can I include his original PP if it is with them. Any advice guys?

Did you provide seperate return envelopes for each of the applocants? (yourself, your wife and son) If that is the case may be there is a delay in processing each application.
If you have provided only one return envelope for the whole family then CGI has goofed up. Call them or send an email stating the seriousness of the matter.
You need to get the cancelled pasport and the SC for every applicant before applying for OCI Period.

bhasi,
I will be applying for mine soon. I have a few questions:
1) Did you know you could apply the SC and OCI together or you took your chances?
2) Tell us about your timeline from application to "Granted"?
3) Did you visit CGISF to submit your applications?
4) How did you package your application? Did you have separate envelopes for SC and OCI? Did you staple the application for SC and OCI separately?
5) Have you received your SC and Indian Passport already?
Thanks in advance.

Question related to Part B of OCI application
How should be signing the Part B ?
I applied as a family (myself, wife and adughter)
For my Part B I will be signing
However for my wife's Part B Myself and my wife need to sign?
Similarly for my daughter, myself as well as my daughter ?
Also there is a question in Part B that was asking about details of family members living in India. Do we need to Include parents information in that ?

There is only one part B for a family, both spouses sign it. One application set consists of {Part A(husband), part A(wife), part A (child1), Part B (common to entire family)}. Make another application set, this makes 2 sets. You need to sent both sets.
Include any adult applicant's parents info in part B.

Thanks for clarifying.
The way I understood is like this:
For me: PartA + ParB, Supporting documents ---> make two sets.
For my wife: PartA + PartB, Supporting documents __> make two sets
For my daughter: PartA + PartB, Supporting documents --> make two sets.
From your comment :
PartA (me) + PartA(wife) + PartA(Child) + PartB + Supporting documents for each applicant
Make two sets.
Is that right ?

Your interpretation is incorrect - Only one part B covering all applicants is required in each set. See below:
Set 1: Your partA+Wife's partA+daughter's partA+common PartB+supporting documents
Set 2: Your partA+Wife's partA+daughter's partA+common PartB+supporting documents
Cover letter and fees (can be one single money order for all applicants)

Do we need to provide two sets of Supporting Documents e.g. photocopies of passport?
