Clarification Reqd - Postal OCI Application in Birmingham

[ILR_Queries]

Hi,

I am planning to apply through post for CGI in Birmingham though i understand it is going to get delayed when compared to the London HCI process.

I have some doubts,

1) The CGI Birmingham website on the FAQ page says, 172 pounds and on the fees page, it says, 175 pounds. which amount i should take postal order?

2) After the grant of registration, what time of the day, should i go to the Birmingham CGI office (in person) to get the U sticker visa stamped on my British passport?. Also wondering, how long will
the registration be valid, before i get the U sticker visa stamped?

3) The CGI Birmingham website says, i need to submit my originals along with my application. If so, should i send my original surrendered Indian passport, which has now been cancelled?
Also should i send the Naturalisation Certitifcate as well?


Please Clarify.

Regards

OK, I have waited enough for a reply.

I will go for taking 175 for Postal Order and keep 2 copies for my OCI application.

But i am wondering why this forum is very dull when compared to the rate of posts in the British Citizenship forum? Though i understand it splits up in to various countries, but still i don't understand, why?!!

Kind Regards
