I wish to apply for self and my child together.
I need some help regarding the documents to be uploaded at the site for my child who is a minor & born in India.
Is that what I have stated below against each category correct ?
Please can someone reply as I need to submit the application on Thursday.
Under Current Passport : Do I upload British Passport + Naturalisation Certificate + Birth Certificate For "Current Passport" I uploaded British Passport photo page + Naturalisation Certificate combined into one PDF. There are several tools that can do this.
Indian Origin Proof : Do I upload the Cancelled Indian Passport (Front & Back) + Surrender Certificate Yes, combined into one PDF
Relationship Certificate : Do I upload Parents passport copies ? I put the child's birth certificate here, along with parents (cancelled) Indian passports, to show that the child is of parents who had Indian passports.
Marriage Certificate : Do I upload Parents marriage certificate? Yes. For children this is mandatory.
At the post office You should ask for 2 return envelopes of size fitting A4 docs.sandeepk wrote:Thanks Indimarshall,

Dear members,ramanathan.pl wrote:Dear Forum Members,
I have got a question on the Proccesing time for OCI cards.
I have applied OCI for me and my family (total 4 applicants) at Goswell Road VFS offcie on 6th September.
Till now I see the status as 'Under Process' in the website for all of us.
I am little bit worried now as we are travelling to India in 1st week of December.
I even spoke to VFS helpline and they only told me they can't assure the timelines. It's about 7 weeks without any information.
Could any of you please let me know, if you had applied for OCI around september and got it?
Your reply would really be helpful.
If the status is going to be same for next week as well, I have to then apply for Indian visa.
Many Thanks,
Raam

Could any of you who had applied for OCI this September and received them, please let me know?
Is there any contact number available other than VFS to enquire about the status?
Many Thanks,

Thanks for this. Today during OCI submission they did ask for a copy of my husbands British passport page. Do I need to upload that as well for my child at the site? If yes then under which category pls.rmukherjee wrote:See answers below.

You can upload it under "Relationship Certificate". Adding a page to the uploaded PDF is easy enough if you have a PDF management tool. The trick is to alter the image quality so that overall the size of the PDF is under the limit (500 kB I think).arwa.dholkawala wrote:Today during OCI submission they did ask for a copy of my husbands British passport page.

Hi,worldpeace wrote:Hi Raam,
Applied for OCI for family of 4 people on 1st Sept, received acknowledgement in 2 days.
Still waiting for processing to be completed. Need to travel on 22nd November, and guess its getting time to think and plan for applying Visitors Visas.
Anyone else from Aug end or Sept 1st week, has heard of any movement yet?
Thanks.
It's worth noting that October had a lot of festivals in India, and a lot of people take leave around that time. So delays ought to be expected around that time. It should speed up a bit in November (no holidays except for one in mid-Nov).I checked with one of my friends and he had applied in VFS Hounslow on 18th August and received the status as processed on 21st or 22nd October. He said it took him 2 months and 3 days.
