have decided to try and convert my PIO to OCI. Has anyone done it in the UK. Do you need to leave original PIO and foreign Passport at the time of application or just when it its ready for collection? In case of spouse application do I need to leave original marriage certificate?

Depends on the application and type of deception.

OP was referring to 320 7a in post so 320 7b would be 10 years from 2010
