you submit the second photo with application. I use 'u' pin to attach the same to part A of the application.

Want to confirm: 1. If I need any authorisation letter from my wife as I plan to go alone to submit the applications. 2. Do we need copies of expired/cancelled Indian passports for self + spouse. 3. Do we need to carry the Originals for all the above documents. Thanks 1 - No 2 - No 3 - Yes Also, - ...

Anything specific that makes you wonder? if you have Indian passport currently then I see no issues you getting OCI.

minor cannot apply for OCI unless accompanied by adult applying for OCI so OCI for the baby before any of the parents applying is out of question. Other option you have is to take a tourist visa for her to visit India as you would subsequently be applying for OCI once you get your naturalization. Th...

I do not think you read the question correctly. It does not talk about pictures it talks about photocopies of the documents that we need to submit with application.

Hello Everyone, I tried to search this forum but could not find the answer to this question hence though of starting the topic. Can anyone who has already applied for OCI/ received the OCI successfully share their experience in terms of photocopies that we need to submit. While the list is quite cle...

That's impressive. Where did you submit your application?

Thanks. Actually that is the reason why I asked. The time is same for both of us. Still i guess will be called separately by different interviewers. I hope that you are not getting child with you for interview and it could be the problem if you both have same time slots. When we appeared for our in...

Individually. When you book the appointment you will get separate slots. You said that you have interview on Sat. have you checked the times on the interview confirmation letter?

In the grace period you can travel to India using Indian pa...

As most probably I will be returning back after 5-6 months If you are going to India for 5-6 months then it makes more sense to complete the process there. I do not see a point in applying for the visa while travelling to India for the fact that your Indian passport is still valid for travel for 3 ...
