I think you are mixing up the two process:wp112010 wrote:thanks shajacksha... i am still confused ...so where does it online bit comes in .. are you saying ...
1)do register online ..part a
2) print off the application where i need to fill part b by hand and send that to vfs along with all the required docs
3) they will send the SC to my address
4) taking the sc & go to hci and apply for oci...
is that what you are saying .....
is there any format for surrender indian passport ?
No, first and foremost, you need to have your Indian passport surrendered. This is done through VFS global. You can download the form (it's only one page, very quick) and send it to Hayes, Middlesex (You can see all the info http://in.vfsglobal.co.uk/surenderind_pass.html.wp112010 wrote:thanks shajacksha... i am still confused ...so where does it online bit comes in .. are you saying ...

Sorry I just saw the later posts.wp112010 wrote:thanks krish.venugopal...i know i am confused terribly...
where is that online bit coming in ..where i have to register
https://passport.gov.in/oci/OnlineOCIRegistrationG.jsp
these online register , vfs and hci ..these 3 are confusing me ...also any format for surrendering passports ?
1) If you were previously Indian and are now British, then yes you need to state that your previous nationality was Indian. (For example, I didn't answer that question since I was born in the UK, so I have always been British)in-london wrote:Now that I have got the Surrender Certificate in hand, I am now onto the next step, i.e. applying for OCI. Have a few questions:
1. First I have to register myself for OCI at the site https://passport.gov.in/oci/OnlineOCIRegistrationG.jsp - there's one question there that confuses me a bit... "Previous nationality" - surely this is India?
2. Do I click the SUBMIT button once I have filled out this form?
3. The form mentions Part-B - where is this? Will this appear once I have submitted Part-A?
4. The form also states "Completed application in Part-A and Part-B are to be submitted to the appropriate office." - does this mean we need to print out Part-A also? I thought we just submit this online?
5. Finally, it seems all documentation is required in a set of two. Does this apply to these forms Part-A and Part-B also?
Sorry if these points are fairly obvious to some of you, but I just wanted to make sure I follow the correct procedure, hence these questions.
Thank you in advance.

It could be because your photo was rejected. I remember reading something about it on the HCI website. If the photo is rejected, you have to send another one.ELBIN007 wrote:YES,IT SAYS PHOTO/SIGNATURE SCANNED ON 29 NOV 2010,AND I APPLIED IN LONDON PASSPORT OFFICE.modasu wrote:Has your photo/signature been scanned?

Hi,sachin_4646 wrote:Hello,
I have applied for myself and my family on 07/04/2011 at HCI London in person. The status says following for all of the reference numbers:
Photo/Signature Scanned On 08-APR-2011
Registration Status Granted On 08-APR-2011
Documents Printing Status NOT PRINTED
Documents Dispatched to Concerned Mission/Office on NOT DISPATCHED
Documents Received at LONDON NOT YET
The photos were as per the requirements. In fact my wife used the same set of photographs for indian visa application a few days after the OCI application. She was granted indian visa without any problems.
I tried calling the HCI london. But nobody picks up the phone at their end. I have not yet received any replies to the emails I have sent to them.
We fill in our email address as part of the application form. Why can they not notify us with the status/issues with the applications? Can they not afford to drop an email for the GBP 167 they charge us?
Anybody, who is in similar situation, I'd like to know how you are proceeding with this. I'd also like to hear from anybody applied on 7th Apr or around that date with successful applications.
Thank you for reading this lengthy rambling.
