OCI application question: I am trying to apply for OCI for my US born daughter. The thumb print instructions are conflicting on CKGS website and government of india website for baby girls. (Contd.)

I took thumbprint of my pinky as my 1yo thumbprint.

This is what i did as well. Indian government doesn't cares Imho

I went through the OCI process recently. Honestly, the crappiest application process ever. Soooo many conflicting instructions. Sorry OP, while I can’t help, I can most definitely commiserate.

100% agree conflicting instructions

When registering on the Indian government website, the instruction says: "A person who has not attained the age of 18 years is considered as minor. In case of minor who cannot sign, his/her left thumb impression may be placed in the signature box. Parents should not sign on the behalf of the children."

On the CKGS website, the instruction says: "For child less than 5 years of age thumb impression of the minor child should be in the signature box under their photo using only a BLACK or BLUE inkpad. (Use Left Thumb impression for Boys & Right Thumb impression for girls)."

For girl babies, are we supposed to use left fingerprint while registering on the government website and right fingerprint on CKGS application forms?

I have gone through for my 1 yo daughter, tbh this is dumb requirement but just to meet the checkbox I took her left thumb impression (using ink pad) they will not pay attention to this much... also when you have to fit the image in certain KB and size it will all go off anyway... so just take impression and upload whatever best you can

Have you considered indian Visa for you child? Asking because per latest guidelines, you ll have to redo child's OCI everytime you renew her passport. And it's a pain

I don’t believe so, no

However, the eVisa prices have dropped and may be even cheaper to get $25 visa every time. U don’t get to stay beyond 30days tho.

Is there a easy checklist of OCI documents anyone can share here please?

My boyfriend's father passed away and his mom wants to live with us "temporarily". She currently lives in a different city and is going to move.

I do love her and we get along. I've flown over multiple times to support the family and do what I can to help (clean house, run errands, coordinate with funeral home).

However, the idea of living with her fills me with dread and anxiety. Any thoughts? Any suggestions?

What is the parental leave policy at your firm? Please include: (1) size of firm; (2) location of firm; (3) how many paid weeks off (from firm - not state/fed); (4) other perks, such as ramp up/down time, etc.

How did you know when you were ready to have a baby? Or were you ready before you had your first? My husband wants to start having kids and has been pushing for it for a couple years now, but I take care of our finances, and I don’t feel at all prepared. Maybe I’m also a little scared to become a mom, so I keep saying finances is my excuse, but I am also a little financially concerned. I don’t feel ready emotionally and him pressing me is making it harder.

PwC Fish - I’m considering where to have a baby, either the US or Austria (I currently live in Vienna, but thinking to move home to the US). What’s maternity leave in the US? How much does it actually cost to have a baby with our insurance? In Austria, I can take up to a year off, but only receive €2,000 a month from the government 😳… I don’t think there is any paid leave through the firm. Pregnancy through birth costs are pretty covered by insurance though. Would love your thoughts!
