PIO Application query (point # 14)

[msquare29]

Hi guyz,
I am applying for PIO card for my newborn son, and after going thru some of the threads related to this topic, I have a question:

The latest PIO application point # 14 Says ""Proof of Residence etc."". I wonder if the evidence for this can be parent's Indian Passport?
Or do you really need to get some proof from back in India. I do not have any other proof other than my Indian passport right now and I am kind of urgent to get this PIO for my newborn.

Any one had so far encountered this ? appreciate any quick help! Any attempts to talk to Indian Embassy folks is a harrowing experience here in eithe Washington DC or Newyork (which was expected), the person is never available on phone and always the mail box is full ensuring that I can not leave any message.

The guide lines for Application for PIO are less than helpful in cecrtain areas.

Pl. reply asap.
Thanks
Manoj

We did a PIO for spouse of Indian citizen, and the residence information in the spouse's Indian passport was accepted as proof of residence (SF Consulate).

Hi Tamtom,

I am planning to apply PIO card for my US born 1 year old son.

Can you clarify what information i need to fill in Point #14 (for proof of residence). My wife and I hold indian passport having different indian addresses. other than passport we do not have any evidence as proof. Another question when we apply for PIO card do my son physically present at the consulate (NY)? Not sure about this. Please shed some light on this.

Thanks

On those occasions when you do live in India, which address is the primary one for your family, yours or your wife's? I'd say that is the one you should provide.

Another question when we apply for PIO card do my son physically present at the consulate (NY)? Not sure about this. Please shed some light on this.

See the PIO section of the consulate's website (http://www.indiacgny.org/). They even accept PIO applications by mail. This shows they do not need the physical presense of the application's benificiary.

Hope this helps,

Tamtom
