OCI is best for outsourcing

OCI:

If best incase if baby will stay more than 6 months. 

VISA: 

Less processing time and works for 10 years, you dont need to re apply for visa even if passport changes (US passport for kids is valid only for 5 years) where as OCI requires you to re-apply again after 5 years, which is painful to go through the entire process again. 

 

apart from this, as of today, for visas, CKGS says 

Indian visa services have been discontinued until further notice; foreign nationals required to visit India for compelling reasons may contact the nearest Indian Embassy/Consulate.

they are accepting OCI applications though ..

kids under 11/12yrs ki no restrictions if they stay beyond 6 months....my kid was in India for almost an yr and no issues. We emailed FRRO and they replied the same. Delhi airport lo immigration appudu adigaaru and I showed them my email proof and they allowed (we dont have to show any proof since its a rule...but better to carry)

FRRO ?? and did they ask in delhi immigration while coming back to US about the longer stay ??

Did anyone apply for indian VISA for their kids recently ?? I see that CKGS is not accepting visa applications until further notice though. It is not even letting me fill the application here for VISA -> https://www.in.ckgs.us/visa/

OCI is better in general, and it is the only option for you now, as they stopped regular visa processing, only emergency visas are allowed.

OCI processing is taking around 2 months, so apply ASAP.
