Just learnt FIL is in ICU under observation after contracting Covid. He has other pre existing conditions. Just became citizens this year and haven’t gotten around to doing the OCI card yet. Any guidance in how to get emergency visa or travel to Hyderabad would be greatly appreciated! Are there special flights & quarantine rules?

Call the consulate/embassy. They’ll get you an emergency visa within 6-12hours.

Sorry to hear about your FIL. I hope he recovers soon. You cannot get an OCI without having turned in your Indian passport. Once you renounce your Indian passport, you will get a receipt which is required for oci application. Generally, you have 90 days to turn in Indian passport after US naturalization. I would suggest not trying to use your Indian passport to travel - you could get in serious trouble plus monetary penalty. Your best bet is to get an emergency visa and ask the consulate for a ticket on Vande Bharat. Also, when you go for stamping at the Indian consulate, that would be a good time to turn in your Indian passport.
Safe travels!

Did you surrender the Indian passport?

That might turn out to be an issue. Cannot confirm but you might want to look in to that.i believe there is a penalty if you still hang on to the Indian passport.

Irrespective of you surrendering Indian passport or not, any Indian consulate will issue you an emergency visa. If in NY area, use PRAMIT app from their website.

Thank you. In LA area.

As an American citizen, you get visa on arrival for 90 days (but have to apply a week in advance). Do it through ckgs as they are really good at turning it around
