Applying OCI for minor daughter, parents still on ILR

[avinaasi]

Hi

I’ve a question on applying for OCI for my daughter.

She was born in the UK, now 3 years old, holds an Indian Passport and residing in UK. She has been registered as a British Citizen earlier this month and we’ve just applied for her British Passport.

My wife and I are currently on ILR and will be eligible for British Citizenship in February 2016.

In this context, can I proceed in surrendering her Indian Passport on receipt of BC Passport and more importantly can I apply for her OCI now?

Please let know. Many thanks.

Yes and Yes.
Infact, you must surrender the indian passport as soon as you acquire the BC. There are penalties applicable, otherwise.
