No need to upload any documents. No need to visit vfs. You will get e-visa in 24 to 48 hours. It is pretty quick

My wife got British passport this year as soon as she had ilr this year (because am already British passport). She didn't spend 1 year for naturalisation as am British citizen

In OCI for part b, for adults what option to select in acquisition method
1. Birth
2. Descent 3. Registration 4. Naturalisation

I guess naturalisation..is it true
My doubt is she didn't spend 1 year naturalisation as she is wife of British citizen.
Is still naturalisation correct
