[quote="krazydude"]NRI fees & quotas are mostly in colleges/uni. Schools do not tend to have these AFAIK.[/quote]

I agree. My friend recently went back to India. And his kids were admitted in school as normal.

One of my friend was in the same situation. He was asked to apply for a visa for the new born child in India after getting the British passport in BHC in India. The immigration officer in Chennai told that the new born should have a visa otherwise it will be illegal for the child to be in India even...

Congrats krish. Go by your timeliness it takes a 7 days.

Congrats krish. Going by your timeliness it takes a 7 days.

Mine is not printed too. Usually following the recent timeliness it should be printed in a day or two. Fingers crossed. Let us keep updated on the progress. My cousin did it from Chennai and he got it in a week or so recently. I saw in a USA post, application from Houston was granted on 23mar but pr...

Thanks for the reply. Yes, we may want to close the accounts. Of course, there surely must be the option to convert the existing accounts into NRI and keep them live. I don't think that is option. This will mean you can repatriate the money abroad. I tried once and failed. Not sure it is possible n...

As long as one of the parent is a foreign national, you in this instance, you can apply for you child OCI along with your application.

Hi If they are local accounts then you are not allowed operate. This is also true for Indian Citizens who are NRI. Nri and OCI or pio card holders are only allowed NRI accounts as long as they remain NRI. If they become resident of india, they are then allowed to operate local accounts. But you shou...

Very straight forward. First, apply for the surrender certificate at Vfs. Once you have that in hand, apply for OCI.

I think it would be illegal for you to obtain an Indian passport once you attend the ceremony. You may be presented with a hefty fine when the officials compare the issue dates between your passport and nationality certifucate, when you apply for your surrender certificate. You might want to postpon...

[quote="london2009uk"]I am also in the same situation and in process of applying for OCI for me and my wife.

Hello

I am going to apply for OCI in London for my wife and kids. I am British. Do I have to take them along with me or can I go and apply for them?.

Also would like to know how early should I be there to join the queue?. If I go by say 8AM, would this be early enough?. Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi, I have jumped from surrender certificate to the OCI thread now. Just got my surrender certificate. Is it advisable to apply OCI by post? Just been looking at the hci website. There is some new information. A new surcharge for OCI application. And have to send originals if applying by post. But i...

Finally got it corrected. The correction took exactly 7 working days. The whole surrender certificate process took 17 working days. Now to the next step. OCI. After submitting the certificate for correction, did you ring them to find out if they have it ready? I have submitted mine, they mentioned ...
