I have been reading about HCI London articles posted by members and done some research as well. I have reached to below conclusion but would like to understand if it makes sense to others or have experienced it.
Applying for RC with SC together (with SC receipt as proof)delays the process as RC is issued by MHA and they have to look up for SC in the system before issuing RC. SC gets issued by HCI London / Consulates.
Hence it makes more sense to wait for SC and then apply for RC so that MHA doesn't have to manually look up for SC before issuing RC.
RC = Renunciation Certifcate
SC = Surrender Certificate
Thanks !

Looking for some guidance regarding OCI application form.
I am applying for OCI on the basis of "APPLYING ON OWN INDIAN ORIGIN- FORMER INDIAN PASSPORT HOLDER"
Following are my queries:
1. Is there any template for the employment proof to be submitted?
I submitted a letter from HR that contains details such as my name, designation, start date, company information including contact number, and a brief description of my responsibilities in the current role.
2. Are payslips required to be uploaded as well?
Not required.
2. I am currently in the process of uploading documents. However, I do not see a category to upload
documents like 'Naturalization certificate', 'Surrender certificate', etc.
I merged the naturalisation certificate and passport into one PDF and uploaded it to the passport section. Similarly, I have uploaded the Indian passport, surrender, and renunciation documents to the Indian origin section. You can upload files to other categories if you cannot find one that matches your document.
Can anyone please suggest/advise which category/categories should 'Naturalization certificate', 'Surrender certificate', etc be uploaded to?
I have already uploaded my current passport and the renunciated/surrendered passport.
Any help/guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hello all, does anyone have knowledge of current timelines for RC? It's 2 months and 10 days since I applied for mine, and no sign of it yet. Application status says "Application Received" . Many thanks in advance.rlobo wrote: ↑Mon Apr 08, 2024 1:25 pmVery much appreciate the reassurance, @RonV! Huge relief that I don't have to re-do everything for RC.RonV wrote: ↑Mon Apr 08, 2024 1:21 pmHi Rlobo,rlobo wrote: ↑Sun Apr 07, 2024 12:27 pmHi All,
Can someone tell me where you are tracking the RC status?
I had submitted the online form, made an appointment at VFS Goswell and submitted all hard copies and received a receipt on 20th March.
When I now check the status (7th April) at https://indiancitizenshiponline.nic.in/Renounce , the site basically tells me to go submit the documents.
I'm confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
many thanks!
That's quite normal, rest assured, you are looking at the correct website. The site normally takes days, sometimes weeks to update the current status of your application. Give it may be few more days and check again. I wouldn't be surprised if its still the same as now.

Could you please suggest when I can expect the Oci card ? I am tracking royal mail special delivery. It has not been posted yet.
Thanks
The codes you mentioned should ideally work, but it sometimes takes a few days for the system to update. Since it's been only four days, I suggest waiting a bit longer before getting too worried. If there's no progress in a few more days, consider contacting VFS directly for clarification. Meanwhile, keep your receipt and all communication handy in case you need to follow up.MM85 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 07, 2024 9:05 pmHi. Does anyone know how to track the progress of an application for OCI after it is submitted at VFS? Staff at VFS centre attached a sticker to receipt with two codes at the end of my appointment four days ago. One is the file reference number from the online submission, the other is four letters / date / four numbers / two numbers. I have looked at the VFS website and the government OCI page, but neither accepts these codes. Simply states No Record Found. All previous posts on this forum show next day acknowledgement. Should I be worried about the application and my original documents?
