Hello,

My kids passport has been renewed. So I started the oci process using OCI Miscellanous services.
The status changed recently to "your details have been updated in oci records"

My kid (minor) has an OCI card based on his last US passport.

I am changing my job but my passport is stuck at the SF consulate for renewal since Jan 2021. My current PP has not expired and I have more than 6 months validity on it.
Can I use the photocopy of the current passport for the H1b transfer to the new employer?
