You need to reside in India for 6 months consecutively. Things have changed a lot.

Will it go quicker/smoother? My fiancee and I are marrying in Delhi in November 2011 and we plan to be married with my travelling between the two countries for 2 years, I will get my PIO card after a year and then after 2 years or so I might move to Delhi 6 months straight to apply at US Embassy to bring over my husband. Is that a better plan - if it's an option for a couple?
