Renunciation of Indian citizenship and OCI application together?

I am in very confused situation.

I think recently there is a change in renunciation process and the fee, per my understanding

>> Mail renunciation form and the OCI application form together with the fee $175 and $275 respectively for each . Is this correct??

>> Did any of you got this done recently after May 31?

Please let me know.

Thanks!
 
Jax,
You are correct. There have been changes on a regular basis at various consulates. On any given day, it depends on which consulate you are assigned to (Jurisdiction) what rules to follow. Some allow combined application whereas others require you to get SC first before submitting the OCI packet....
Please check your consulate site or check the correct thread for the consulate in this site.

Good luck,
 
If your consulate is NY, DO NOT apply for both SC and OCI together despite the SC instructions on their website saying you can do this. It is wrong and the OCI folks will either put your application on hold or they will mail it back to you due to the lack of a SC in your application. So at the CGI-NY, apply for the SC first and once you get that, then apply for OCI and attach a copy of your SC with the supporting docs.
 
Thank you!

Do you know if I can mail them together to Houston?

I did not find any clear instructions anywhere.
 
I do not know about Houston but you can post your question on the CGI-Houston thread. If time is not of the essence, I would advise that you apply for the SC first and then apply for the OCI.
 
I concur with JP on his approach. SC and OCI separately is a safe bet...
Cross check all feedback from people visting the Houston thread........
Also, if Houston office is within driving (reasonably) distance, it might be worth paying a visit as their site seems to have instructions for making appointments for applying OCI in person, collecting OCI docs in person et al......

Good luck,
