Hi,
Once OCI Documents are received in "Birmingham/London", how many days do we have to submit the passport?
Can anyone please answer?

Hello, Cannot really see much timelines now a days. Is it really quiet or people not updating.

New born OCI
Application Date : 30-11-2015
File Acknowledgment Number GBRB0B...
Date Of Acknowledgment 01-DEC-2015
Registration Status at Mission BIRMINGHAM
Documents Printing Status UNDER-PROCESS

Anyone got an idea how long it is taking for Birmingham applicants? I really want that ASAP as we are planning to travel in Feb. Because it is long term, I want to make sure we have OCI for the little one

Thanks

I dropped my OCI application at VFS Paddington, docs submitted:

Application printout with photo and signature uploaded.
2 photographs as per specification: when u take the online print you have to affix one on the form and the other needs to be handed over to the VFS counter.
Original and copy of Surrender Certificate
Original and copy of Naturalisation Certificate
Foriegn passport copy and they will verify the original and hand it over back to you
2 self addressed special delivery Royal Mail grey envelopes
All photocopies need to be self attested!

Thanks
Sonu
