Hi Can anyone say what is the process if we get British passport for baby born in India. Do we need to take exit visa for the baby to trave to the UK? Or any other documents to be prepared? what is the procedure? duration? Where can I find information regarding this? If anybody knows anything, plea...

guys, how long it took to get British Passport in Hand (in India) after your interview?

@ H_manatee, thanks for your updates.

How long did they say OCI to be issued? Could we just travel with the Indian Visa (which is valid for 1 year) to the UK and then apply OCI from the UK?

hi mate,

Is it possible to get contact details for the solicitor in London?
Also how much fees did they charge ?

good Move.
Now they just need to confirm if existing OCI holders (while renewing their foreign passports), should they refresh their OCI?

I was bit shocked to see this. I can't think they will ask to pay another £150 to apply another card. Economic Times article A new Bill, which seeks to do away with the existing overseas citizen of India (OCI) card and the person of Indian origin (PIO) card, and replace them with a new overseas Indi...
