Postal returns of OCI

Post by Shabster8 » Sat Nov 30, 2013 10:50 am

Hi, I applied by post on 24 September and my OCI for my daughter and me is finally ready in London. I want to post both passports special delivery together but can somebody tell me if I should send 2 return special delivery envelopes or can I send just one. Will London allow that. I don't want to cause any delays. Thanks.

If I suggest you its better to go and collect it, just matter of few hours and you dont have to be there again.

Thanks All for motivating and encouraging. Special thanks to "hanifm24" for ascertaining i will be sorted by 15th. Looks like I will be sorted.

Tazz from my experience you should be alright. Once they send it from Delhi its one day or 2. After processed the dispatch day should be within 5 working days. Relax you will be alright.

I collected mine on Monday. I reached HCI London at about 0845, there were some 20-25 people ahead of me in the queue. The OCI collection counter opened at about 0900 and I was out with my collection token at about 0920 having been told to collect passport between 1630 and 1700.

However, in the afternoon it was a strange situation. I reached at about 1610 and there was already a serpentine queue spilling on to the main road where the Waldorf is located. Luckily, when the counter opened later than 1630, there were 2 people disbursing passports. I was out with my passports before 1700 I think.

Regarding the authorisation letter, I am not sure since I was not asked for any authorisation letter either during submission or collection of OCI and I had mine and my spouse application submitted together. Anyway, I had the authorisation letter from my spouse in my back pocket just in case. However, I suspect they may just ask for authorisation letter in the case of your sisters application, what was the procedure during submission of application for your sister?

Does anyone know the link to the OCI status?

I've submitted my application on 12th November and just want to know the exact status of it, whether if it's in India or even if it's ready by now.

Thanks
