Hi All,

I have just tried to filter the July 2014 Passport applicants which should help us forecasting our turn

I would appreciate if you can keep us posted (with your timelines) which will definitely give all of us a light of hope

Many Thanks Akash08 and BC_Applicant.

I hear you Akash08 ... but we need to start from somewhere right?

Please try sharing the link on whatsapp or email or any means. We are still quite far in fact very far 91,904 needed! (as of now)

This might help you ... http://southafricahouseuk.com/visas/vis_forcit.html

Please share your experience too.

Thanks for sharing this...

I am sure this will help many others

Also make sure you have Surrender Certificate for yourself and your kid before you apply for OCI.

Surrender Certificate is one of the important prerequisites to apply for OCI.

Unfortunately no ... One of the parent has to be British passport holder and should be applying for OCI.

In simple words one cannot apply OCI for his/her kids unless one of the parent has already OCI or applying for OCI

Kids cannot have OCI before one of the parents!

You cannot apply for child's OCI alone. Please check point (d) under Section C (d) OCI Applications for minor children Please note that one of the parents should have foreign nationality and he/she should be eligible for OCI before applying OCI for his/her minor children.

Do you have to send the original Naturalization certs? If you are sending by post? I would advise you to take a day off if possible and submit the docs in-person, bcoz of the incompetent staff at HCI. Again, this is just my opinion. I have done mine in-person and they just check your Naturalization ...
