And elderly family member must stay longer than 180 days in India

[minglevi 0]

After becoming US citizen (born and brought up in India and has her own home in India) she immediately moved back to India on etrouist visa and on visa says contentious residence for more than 180 days not allowed.

Her visa is valid for 1 year though. That means she needs to go out of India within 180 days of arrival...even for a day to prove that she does not have contentious residence of  more than days.

Her original plan was to apply for OCI within a month of two of arrival but after arriving in India ...she had couple of surgeries and she is still sick ..so could not work on her OCI application

neither she is able to go out of India ..even for a day. She still has about 20 days left before 180 days mark.

 

How can she get away with this requirement ..she is not in position to fly out of India due to health reasons...

 

What does she need to ...she can get a certificate from her Doctor but where does she need to with that certificate? she needs to go Police commissioner's office in Ahmadabad or  she needs to go FRRO office in Ahmadabad?

or she can go either of those two?

Apply for extension. Look up gov of india website for such rules.

 

Also India doesn't allow dual-citizenship.

 

If she applied for OCI this would not have been a problem

She could not apply for OCI within first 5 months after being in India and becoming citizen.

 

If she apply now ..just the application itself will serve the purpose (that she does have to fly out of India within 180 days)

or one needs to have an actual OCI card in possession/issued to them before they can get away with this 180 days requirement?
