OCI Card: Separate booklet or stamp in passport

[puneet1135]

Hi all,

My parents (who are US Citizens) just got their OCI card (from Washington DC office). They were given a separate OCI booklet, but their American passport was NOT stamped with any OCI stamp
Mu questions is: Does the OCI card come with a stamp on the US passport or is only a separate (lifetime) booklet issued?

Thanks!

I don't think they do that anymore. When I applied in 2011 (The process was much better back then) They pasted a U-VISA on my US passport and also gave me an OCI booklet. But now it looks like they only give you the OCI Booklet

I heard the same thing. Just wanted to confirm it.
