Hello.
I am applying for PIO for my wife at Chicago Travisa; who became a US citizen in May 2011. (She was an Indian citizen from her birth in 1984 till May 2011). I am still Indian citizen with US green card. I need help with questions below:


1. Question # 14 (Permanent address in India) verifiable: Can I provide my address in India? Will my Indian passport which has my address listed be a valid document for them to verify?

2. Question # 25, Proof of residence etc.: Again, can I provide my address in India? Will my Indian passport which has my address listed be a valid document for them to verify?

3. Question # 23(a) Whether the applicant or his/her parents or grandparents or great grandparents held an Indian passport at any
time, if so details thereof: (enclose photocopy of relevant documents): The applicant (my wife) held Indian passport from her birth (1984) till May 2011 (US citizen by naturalization), do I still need to include details of parents and grand parents?

4. Question # 24(a) Whether the applicant or his/her parents or grandparents or great grandparents was born and was permanently resident in India as defined in the Government of India Act, 1935 * at any time {please see instruction (1) }. If so, following details may be indicated: the applicant (my wife) was born in India, do I still need to include details of parents and grand parents's birth?

5. Question # 28(a) and 28(b): Name and complete address of person (1) and (2) known to applicant living in India or USA with telephone number: Can I provide address and telephone number of both my In-Laws living in the Chicagoland area?

Thanks much for your help. I had a couple more questions:

1. I do not have her Birth Certificate. The list of documents required for PIO lists Birth Certificate.
Will her US passport (and/or Indian passport that I am going to renunciate with the PIO application) be good enough to prove her Date of Birth?

2. She had a valid Indian passport when she got the US citizenship through naturalization in May 2011. There is another old passport which was cancelled when she got her latest Indian passport (in 2006). Should I submit only the latest Indian passport or both her passports?

1. Birth certificate is only required if the applicant is NOT born in India, please review PIO requirements carefully.

2. Send latest passport which will be canceled and stamped as part of the renunciation process.
 
Silly question: When I fill out the PIO application form, should it be in ALL CAPS?
Or any specific part needs to be in CAPS?

Do I need to provide separate Money Orders for PIO application, renouncing the old passport and shipping, or I can provide one Money Order for the total fees?

Do I need to notarize the copies of the documents?
