Wrong advise.

Wrong advise by BashirB. OCI will be reissued only once after reaching 20 years

Hello All, Hope you can throw some light. I have submitted a request to update my passport details in my OCI over two months ago (over 50 years) and when I check the status I get the message “your application is acknowledged by the competent authority and will be updated soon”. I thought the update w ...

Hi To collect the OCI, can i send just the envelope I purchased from post office (the blue royal mail special delivery envelope with prepaid stamp on it) or should I also include a thick cover to go into the special delivery envelope?. I am asking this because the envelope seems a bit thin to hold ...

My surrender certificate was full of errors. Except for the name, all the other details were someone else's. I had no choice but to correct it as I think this peice of paper is an important document and will save you any future hassles if you get it corrected now.

You have to apply for a visa in India for your child. Since he is British by birth he should have a visa during departure from India. Regional FRRO will be able to provide with more info. I think they provide exit permit and a time limit within which to leave India. I am not sure. What I am sure ...

I'm searching for a new contract and in my cv current company name mentioned.I'm getting calls asking the manager name and which company i work for. Shall I remove my current company name form my cv? please advise. These are tricks of the trade. But do you want to remove the company name from your ...

It is not like you will get a job as soon as you finish one. If you can afford to be out of contract for a while after you finish one, then wait until the last day. If not start as soon as you are aware that you will not be extended. As for attending calls who cares as long as they know that you are ...

No you will not get your cancelled passport You do get the cancelled passport back, with a 'revoked' stamp. hello gg234, did you check out why you didn't get your cancelled passport back? I am confused as you saying will not get the passport back but few others are saying you will get... Is there ...

This is wrong. Surrender certificate along with the cancelled passport will be returned. Atlast that was the case until a month ago. I got the passport back with the corners cut.

Hope this is of some help... I applied for a PIO card for my wife during May this year. HCI London issued the PIO card bang on target - 21 working days! Well done HCI! If you looked at the timelines for OCI in the sticky post and followed krazydude's suggestion you would have received OCI in 21 ...

I know that the Indian passport becomes invalid after I acquire a different citizenship and I did not want to apply for OCI or PIO as they do not give full rights in the country and then you do not get consular protection & help in India by the British consulate As a citizen of UK you should get ...

It is clearly mentioned in www.hcilondon.in/oci.php, point 7

Good luck. Should be a proud OCI holder in three week's time

Thanks for clearing this.

do i have to submit my british passport at the time of applying for oci No you don't. Just a photocopy with the application. I sent my mother's passport and it got sent back specifically saying "don't send british passport when applying for oci". I was under the impression that you have to send ...

do i have to submit my british passport at the time of applying for oci If you are applying in person, take the originals with you, although they never seem to ask. But the only time you need to submit your British passport is when you collect OCI. Give it in the morning and collect it back in the ...

Teacup wrote:Yes, I agree that's the best, but I don't have much time. And what a waste of money for someone else's mistake! I am going to send it in as it is with a covering letter.

However, does the OCI reflect one's father's surname?

Teacup.

If I remember correctly, yes.

If they have made a spelling mistake in your fathers surname on the surrender certificate, would it matter too much while applying for the OCI? What would happen if you don't get this corrected before applying for the OCI? Is your fathers name reflected in the OCI? Teacup Don't you think it is ...

Thanks a lot Shajacksha for the reply. sorry but i am still confused. does it mean that i have to make a complete fresh application upon the expiry of 5 years valid passport for my son and pay £180 or i can carry his old/expired passport along with the renewed one until he turns 20 years and once h ...
