On the OCI status enquiry page where will it display Photo/Signature Scanned ?
I can see :
Registration Status at Mission : UnderProcess
Documents Printing Status On
Dispatched From MOIA (OCI ): NEW DELHI On NOT DISPATCHED
Documents Received at LONDON NOT YET
Does anyone know where it will show that the photo and signature have been scanned? |

Good... But I wonder why you sent the postal application to CGI Birmingham in the first place. CGI Birmingham i think takes about 3 months for OCI and you would have been better off posting to HCI london. I think it takes about 6 weeks there? |

Thank you to everyone who posts on this forum. This forum has been invaluable in helping me get my daughters oci card. Here is our time line and application details.
The application was made for my infant daughter. We did everything by post with HCI London. For the application we sent completed OCI forms and self attested photocopies of her British passport, parents british passports, parents oci cards, grandparents Indian passports, full birth certificate, short birth certificate and parents naturalisation certificates. Everything was sent in duplicate. We included a short letter outlining all the documents we included with the application. For her signature we used a black ink pad to get a thumb impression of her left thumb. Not sure why, but they specify different hands for boys and girls. We also included two photos (US passport standard with a light coloured background not white) with each form. We got the photos done at snappy snaps. Finally we included a postal order to pay for the OCI card.
Our timeline was:
Application sent by post to HCI London: 2/07/2012
Application received by HCI London: 3/07/2012
Application acknowledged: 12/07/2012
Photo/signature at mission: 17/07/2012
Granted: 1/08/2012
Printed: 2/08/2012
Dispatched from Delhi: 3/08/2012
Received at London: 7/08/2012
Self address special delivery envelope along with original British passport and print out of online tracker status posted to HCI London on 9/08/2012. Passport received back from HCI London on 30/08/2012. |

As per High Commission of India Website (OCI-FAQs), they mention no enquiries before 6 weeks.
http://hcilondon.in/oci.php
What is the processing time of application?
Around 5-6 weeks . Applicants are required to check the status on MHA website at the following link: http://mha.nic.in/uniquepage.asp? Id_Pk=553. No separate intimation will be sent to the applicant about the status of their application. Once the status shows "Documents received at London" with date, applicants should take action to collect the documents as per collection procedure.
How long will it take for my OCI card to be ready?
We expect the OCI cards to be ready for collection at High Commission of India, London in approximately 5-6 weeks. No enquiry would be entertained before 6 weeks from date of submission of application. |

Took 7 days for mine to be scanned and show up on the website. It seems it dosent happen the next day as it used to before. Could have been something to do with school holidays and backlog. Keeping my fingers crossed and hoping the entire process is completed and the OCI is delivered within timelines. |

Had read somewhere, dont remember exactly where.I think it was on the website FAQ section that if the status keeps on showing UnderProcess it could mean that either the photograph or signature could not be scanned. I think it would be better if you visted personally and found out. |

|

Hi all,
Just a quick question regarding PART B of the OCI application form:
For Question 16, 'Does the country of applicants permit dual citizenship in some form or the other?
The UK permits dual citizenship so I should circle 'YES' right?
Also, when self attesting the photocopies, are signatures required on the front or the back of the document?
Thank you! |

Just sign in front. Write you full name below the signature and put the date. |
