Hi I was in the process of transferring oci sticker to new British passport under miscellaneous Services as well as change of address And occupation. I was advised that I would also need to request that vfs add my wife's details eg name dob to be Printed on my booklet in addition to what is already ...

You will need the police report.

Somewhere on the CGI website it does say you may need an interview at the consulate.

Had a look at a notice pinned up in the Birmingham Consulate today and it stated it can take ten working days for the OCI and passport to arrive.

On the website it says it can take 7 working days not including the time taken to actually mail the documents.

Certainly at the Birmingham Mission they stated they would not release the

documents until you showed a consent letter from wife and ID for yourself

It is not quite yet over.

You will have to post when it comes to renewing your OCI under miscellaneous services when the time comes.

In some countries such as India there is no data protection laws and the embassy often calls the bank to verify bank statements are genuine by asking about sums of money. I watched this in a UKBA televsion programme.

I suggest you seek professional advice as it is not that simple.

Normally you have to have a visa to come over and marry in the UK
