Hello I have a question about OCI. I applied for my OCI card last year as a spouse of an Indian origin. My application has been approved and under process since then. This year my spouse gained US citizenship and he will be renouncing his Indian citizenship. My question is what happens to my OCI ? Is this still valid since it was applied while he was a citizen or do I need to do the entire process again? Again I did not receive my card yet, not sure if I will receive it at all. However, in an event I do I was wondering what would happen to its validity. Additionally, if I need to contact someone for this question, who do I contact? the embassy?

Hi I am due to update my passport the last time I done it I was 20 year 23 days in 2013 in 2023 its expirying so I think I need to update my oci when I get my new passport next. I am very confused when I had received my new oci in 2011 the rules were different but now there is a question where I will have to say YES where they ask if any of my parents or grandparents or grandparents is or had been a citizen of Pakistan or Bangladesh. For that I have to say yes because my father was born in Pakistan currently British I had got my oci from my mother because she was indian when I got my oci the rule was if any one of the parent is indian we are eligible. So I'm not sure how they will treat me for this would they cancle my oci? Who is the best person to speak to about my situation? Thanks
