Hello

My parents will soon be getting their US citizenship. They would like to visit India for a longer stay (> 6 months possibly). I wanted to check if its advisable to apply for PIO card and wait 3-4 months before travelling or to go and try to get an extension once in India..

Also, what value does OCI provide over a PIO (other than the fact that you must renew the PIO after 15 years)... ?

Thanks

OCI is a one time investment and provides a life long visa with no restrictions on length of stay and no requirement to register with local police authorities. PIO is no longer a good option for those eligible to get OCI.
