PIO Card renewal

[pvramnath3]

Hi,

We live in India and my kids are american born US citizens. They have PIO card, which is valid until 2023. Their US passports were renewed recently and they got a new passport. Should the PIO card also be newed now as the original US passport on which the PIO card was taken renewed ?

We have an urgent foreign travel and don't have much time to do PIO card newal.

Kindly advice,
Ram.

PIO for New born Child

Hi,

I have to apply new PIO for my new born child.
Effective July 1st 2013 a new agency BLS International has taken over the process for applying the PIO.
I live near Washington DC so instead of mailing all the required documents which also includes original passport, I am going there directly to submit the documents.
Now my question is do I need to take my child and my wife also to submit the documents or only me going there is enough?

One more question I have is I know until and unless I have valid VISA the PIO application might be rejected.
But my VISA is getting expired in another 3 weeks. Processing of PIO takes at least 2 weeks.
Will they reject the PIO application based on the fact that my VISA is getting expired very soon?
I have already applied for extension but it will take another month or 2 to get my approval letter.

Anybody experienced my situation.

Thanks

No, they will not reject the PIO application by seeing that your visa is going to expire soon.
