In my case , the backdated 'despatch date' from and current date of 'received in London' was updated on the same day on the website. So tomorrow morning you may see that it received in London with a despatch date of 8th Nov . Best of luck. Dude still same status ... processed on 9th and no other upd...

Your wife's case may not as simple since it involves name change. It may be a MISC service which doesn't mean fast and easy. There may be internal verification/approvals required which may be delaying the process. Applying for Visa normally takes 5 days and is done through VFS UK. So it can wait lat...

Since it was 4th November when you have your acknowledgement date, roughly translates to 3 December when your OCIs should be ready to collect . By 29th Nov you should see something like processed in Delhi which will indicate normal progress :) Second was mine and my sisters. Both of our parents have...

Take a printout of the status page and carry/send your passports to HCI lLondon. For collecting in person reach there by 9:00am submit the passports and printout in a separate counter specially meant for OCI collection. Collect your OCI same day in the afternonn ( probably 4pm, please check). It has...

Today being start of week it should be available by Friday or Monday if it is HCI London . HCI B'gham may mean extra 2 weeks. But that is too close for your visa window of 5 days processing . It is getting precariously touch and go case for you . If I were you I would apply for VISA ,knowing very we...

Good point . You are correct . My Apologies. From the CGI Birmingham site in the URL given on my previous post "OCI registration certificate and visa have got to be re-issued each time a new passport is issued up to the completion of 20 years of age and once after completion of 50 years of age. " On...

That's right Only Safe period is between 20-50 years . Once you cross 50, every time you get a renewal of passport, you will have to apply for OCI Misc services (reduced fees) to get a fresh OCI booklet and U sticker stamped on the passport . Which means another 10 years before you are due for anoth...

Yeah just did that now but i m getting a bit worried as I need to travel on 18th Nov and got only a week to get either OCI or Visa. Also try sending an email to 'shettybn@nic.in'. He/she (Dr. B. N. Shetty) is responsible for OCI website maintenance. Also attach the the email that you received from ...

Congrats . At least they have said it is granted. Did they mention any different acknowledgement number in the email which would help to check the 'real status'. I would assume you should shoot them another mail after 7 days asking if it ready for collection at HCI London ? I got their email reply t...

I would suggest the following : 1. Best option is you & your wife submit in person at HCI. Then the case officer can vet your details then and there thus avoiding anxiety of postal outcome. 2. Carry your marriage certificate in original. 3. When you go for Indian Passport surrender before you can ap...

Hello I applied for my OCI card in person at London office on 20th Sep however, the status enquiry still shows it as under process. I can see some other guys posted his timeline where he applied on 20th Sept and got his OCI approved on 11th Oct. Could anyone please let me know how can I enquire abo...

Thanks deyga so you think we should apply PIO card. And oci when parents were applying. But now we cannot apply for OCI on her own. Thank you so much to get me out of this confusion any way I think for kids it doesn't matter OCI/PIO Your kid can apply for PIO now on the basis of your Indian Passpor...

Has anyone got any idea of why this is? Is it because there is something wrong with my application ski2nikeeta . Y...
