Congratulations on getting US citizenship. You can do it at the same time, but the process of renunciation of citizenship needs to be completed before the OCI card is processed.

I also need to apply for OCI + renunciation at the same time. Can someone please post links to the right web pages? I was redirected for the renunciation application to the passport seva website. but some people mention it has to be done on VFS. A step by step bullet points will be highly admired. Thank you.

I have couple of questions for the passport surrender process:
1) Which passport number # we should write on Indian passport surrender checklist?
2) Can we apply both Indian passport surrender and OCI service together? I was told like we have to apply for surrendering the passport first and once we get passport surrender certificate then only we can start OCI process, please clarify.
