Am I eligible for OCI?

Post by ocicardplease » Mon Jan 11, 2016 5:15 pm

Hi All.

I am a British Citizen of Indian Origin on my father's side. My Mother was a Pakistani citizen, long denounced.
As far as I can see, the OCI rules have changed and now if one parent, grandparent or great grandparent was ever a Pakistani Citizen you are no longer eligible.

What are my chances?

I believe the rules are self-explanatory ... and you are already aware of them.
Life isn't fair, but you can be!

Do you see this rule changing back at any point?

Very annoyed that I missed the opportunity. Had I applied a year ago, I would have got it.
