None was asked any question. They presented all three documents as usual (current passport, old passport that had OCI stamp and OCI card).

Again, "dont ask - dont tell - dont educate immigration officer" seem to be good policy (of course there could always be DP #1 at some point)
Yeah, I have the same experience, with my daughter, not me (I'm not fifty, yet ). She's under 21, never been stopped in the last ten years, on her third passport now. But you never know!
