OCI is better than PIO. You should apply for OCI.

9/1/2009: Applied for I-130

9/14/2009: NOA1 for I-130

9/21/2009: NOA1 for I-129F (CSC)

9/25/2009: NOA1 received for I-129F (receipt of mail)

01/08/2010 : Thank you very much Jesus..... NOA 2 129F

01/08/2010 : NOA 2 I-130

01/15/2010 : Embassy gets the approval notice (Awesome..Love K3...so glad we have done K3)

01/20/2010: Embassy schedules interview for K3

02/19/2010: K3 interview over and approved.

[Thank You very much Jesus and our heavenly father.]

Hi,

Couple of months back, I applied for PIO. I received it in just a month since the time of application. Depending on your frequent travel abroad, entirely upon you to decide to apply for either OCI or PIO.

OCI is a 3 months process.

PIO is only a month.

You mentioned that you have lost your indian passport and do have a photocopy, please consult your nearest Indian Embassy for more information, as the Indian passport will be cancelled. Wish I could help you more on it but I am not sure if you have a photocopy

Good Luck!

thanks,but i called indian embassy and they said photocopy of indian passport will help to cancel passport and that was only to get visa for india only.But i am asking that for PIO or OCI, is indian passport mandatory or embassy provide some document for PIO or OCI later on. Cause applying for visa and PIO or OCI both process in seperate departments.
