OCI for foreign spouse

[gulz]

Hello all,

I'm back after a while on the forum again with a fresh set of questions. So my baby and I are British citizens and my wife is dual British and Romanian. I have surrendered my Indian passport and obtained the surrender certificate and now intend to apply for OCI for all of us. Now as i understand it, I am eligible for OCI straight up without any issues, and so is my baby. When it comes to my wife, I am a little confused. It appears that the eligibility criteria is "Spouse of foreign origin of an OCI cardholder where the marriage has subsisted for two years". So by the sound of it, it appears that only once I get my OCI card will I be able to apply for an OCI for my wife. I cannot apply for an OCI for her at the same time as I apply for myself and my baby. On the other hand, for a minor child, they are eligible if "one of their parents holds an OCI card, or is eligible to get an OCI card".

This could be badly worded eligibility criteria, or it could be a genuine criteria, I don't know. Has anyone been in a similar situation before and knows whether it is possible to apply for my wife's OCI at the same time I apply for myself and my baby?
