The PDF link mentioned above in Q9 is vague and does not specify clearly what happens after submission. So I emailed HCI London with the OCI Misc application details enquiring if the process is complete and got the below reply today: This refers to application bearing MHA file No. GBRL######## for u...

Are we sure that just submitting and getting an acknowledgement email is all that is needed ? If I go to OCI tracking services webpage and put the details in, it says "Your application has been acknowledged by competent authorities. It is under consideration." It has been this status for more than a...

I had my 5 year old's OCI renewal booked in for end of June but received the below email from the OCI section. The website update for 31st May mentioned in the email below has not happened yet and the date has been updated to end of June. I am planning to wait until the website is updated and then u...

Hmm.. not really and this is the gist of my query. Nationality seems to have nothing to do with getting an Aadhaar ID, a bit like SSN in USA or NI in UK.It seems Foreigners can get an aadhaar if they are staying for more than 182 days in the past 12 months and how it is being checked is also questio...

To all fellow OCI holders out there... now that Aadhaar ID is being linked to every tiny bit of information about a desi trying to survive in India, the day wont be far when you will need one even to take a dump :twisted: . 1. There are all sorts of contradictory information about aadhaar validity f...

Has she considered the 4th option : Return to UK leaving the USA account active, open a UK Bank account after reaching here, then initiate the transfer from the UK either online or via telephone from USA account to UK account, then put in request to close the USA account if needed. This way, you are...

Here is a chance for redemption on the blunder that was committed last June based on post-truths ... or probably to choose the lesser of the evils ... Vote wisely

I read through most of the threads, even the 'other countries' as well - mainly because if I could start over, I would have studied immigration law. I never knew I liked it so much until I met this beautiful forum <3 The most intriguing ones for me are the threads where someone is close to being sho...

Fascinating account OP!

yes.. DX couriers.

it is double the price, so better to buy royal mail Sp Delivery envelope.

same case with me as well. Need only the current valid one.

All supporting documents that you plan to submit should be uploaded as well: in my case: Current passport: british passport & naturilisation certificate (put scanned images of both of these in a word document, create a pdf out of it and upload as a single pdf file) Indian origin proof: Indian passpo...

This post is to clarify some of the absurdities and omissions in the vfs website with regards to OCI application. 1. If you submit the surrender certificate for indian passport, then no need of any other document to prove indian origin (not even the cancelled indian passport) 2. It is given somewher...

1. Yes, eyes closed is fine.
2. Buy a stamp pad from any office supplies store, press her left hand thumb on it and press on paper - I did it when my baby was sleeping. Dont forget to wash it off
3. Timelines seem to be same for adult and infant - refer to timelines sticky thread.

Brexiters scream "Democracy": they get 150,000 deciding the PM on behalf of 64 million
Brexiters scream "take back control": they have the possibility of a remain supporter back in as PM.

Now that BoJo has chickened out of the responsibility of fixing the mess he co-created, Ms May is beaming in front of cameras... Every non EU person here from past 6 years of experience knows how this is going to turn out. She becoming PM might even be the swan song for this lovely forum which has h...

I should have said 'a few moderators / gurus'... apologies. A tiny tiny minority of xenophobes started hijacking the results of the referendum and decided in their petty minds that they have got the mandate of 52% of the public to be openly dearly beloved. That tiny tiny minority now seems to be gro...

This is only going to get worse with the lea...
