PIO for wife ( sri lankan citizen)

[MDGUTS1307]

I am wondering what are the chances of getting either PIO or OCI for my wife who is a sri lankan citizen (GC holder here). I am an Indian citizen. The eligibility crtieria for PIO state that citizens of bangladesh, paskitan, nepal and sri lanka are not eligible. Any suggestion on what I can do ??

If you ARE Indian citizen and got married to sri lankan lady then she can get Indian citizenship.

PIO and OCI are for persons who got US passport or US citizenship .Indians citizen who got Citizenship of other Countries and earlier they Had Indian Citizenship can also get PIO card. Read the PIO form and OCI

Spouses of Indian citizens can get PIO, but unfortunately Sri Lankan citizens are excluded.
