Hi,
I am also in your situation, I had conflicting information on immigration board site and VFS London. I need to stay in India for sometime on Visitor Visa and it seems like I need to travel all the way to UK just to submit passport and collect oci card.
Immigration Board:
http://www.immigrationboards.com/other- ... n#p1334946
VFS London (
Info.Ociuk@vfshelpline.com):
when status shows OCI received in London/Birmingham/Edinburgh on a particular date, the documents mentioned on the website must be submitted to the India Visa and Consular Services Application Centre, where original application was submitted for OCI. (without an appointment at the earliest convenience)
Sent an email to
helpdesk-oci@gov.in,
cgioci@btconnect.com waiting for their reply
Thanks,
Sri.
