I recently got my US citizenship, and was planning on doing the entire process (renouncing + new OCI ) together. Is that a good idea or should i do the renouncing process first and then apply for OCI?

The answer is YES and NO.

First Yes,
Technically you can do that prior to TRAVISA.

Second No,
TRAVISA are very dumb people. From reading on this forum I get the message that TRAVISA is only following what is in the front of their computer screen.

So, a good way for you go about this whole process, and less hassle is to apply for the Renunciation certificate first, and then do your O.C.I process once you have secured the Renunciation certificate singed and stamped by the concerned authority from the Indian Consulate or Embassy depending on your state of residence and its respective jurisdiction to the consulate or embassy. From reading your blog, it seems that you are in San Francisco Jurisdiction. Here are some web links you might be interested in:

section devoted to San Francisco Consulate for the O.C.I on this forum :

A private outsourcing company named TRAVISA's O.C.I homepage where you will find complete instructions on how to apply for O.C.I, and complete checklist as to what to send to TRAVISA.

M.H.A website where you may apply for the O.C.I online application Part A ( out of Part A and Part B ), and fill the Part B offline when it prints after filling the Part A out.

This website is to be visited if one wishes to read all the rules and regulations of the O.C.I card. One may also apply online for O.C.I card as there is a official website link present on this website. If one wishes to get the O.C.I Miscellaneous Services, then they may do so here by reading instructions on how to apply, and manual on O.C.I Miscellaneous Service, and actually apply for Miscellaneous Services as there is an official website link present.
