thanks

----------Aren't you supposed to send the Indian PP (originals) while applying for visa?
-------------- Yes Indian PP (originals)+US passport are sent to Travisa. if your Indian PP is with Embassy then get theIndian passport cancelled by Embassy and Surrender certificate. if you have Surrender certificate then no need of Indian passport to Travisa and can send Copy of Surrender certificate. you can talk to Travisa for more info.
How would you go about that when the Indian PP is already with the embassy for OCI?
--read above

If I apply for OCI and cancellation of Indian PP at the same time, how would I have my surrender certificate & Indian PP with me? I would assume, they would mail the Indian PP & surrender certificate along with the OCI, right?
or should I cancel the Indian PP first, get the surrender certificate and then mail the OCI package?

With Travisa one CAN apply for Visa and Surrender Certificate at same time. Travisa has form on the site those who want apply Entry(X)visaSurrender Certificate is the prerequisite and you have to apply and get it first before applying for visa or OCI for smoother and easy process - otherwise babus may reject the whole package and you may loose precious weeks
