Oliver,
Your statement is valid ONLY when your current OCI card was issued before you turning 50.
For example:
CASE 1:
You get your US passport at age 41
You get OCI at age 49.
Get new US passport at age 51
You need to re-issue your OCI (even though your OCI is just 2 years old)
CASE 2:
You got US passport at age 43.
You got OCI at age 51.
Get new US passport at age 53 and 63 and 73 and 83 and 93...
No need to do anything. Even your 6th passport at age 93, you dont need to do anything.
(of course by then some babu will come up with some other rules)
The explanation from bureacratic babu that this requirement is due to facial changes is so ridiculous.
How come facial changes from 21 to 49 or from 51 to 99 dont matter but one between 49 and 51 matters??
