Has anyone received RC in last 7-10 days?

They would keep the surrender and renunciation certificate, I think for some people they also kept the naturalisation certificate, the docs are usually returned within 5-7 working days. They won't keep your British Passport, hence you would have no issues in travelling to EU. Hello, Question on OCI ...

No problem! Is it not possible to get the nativity certificate from within the UK? Hi! We have tried contacting the UK Home Office and the National Archives, unfortunately both departments are not able to assist with this. As a last ditch attempt we have called on the support of our local MP who is ...

You can try this to contact UK Home Office: https://www.gov.uk/contact-ukvi-inside-outside-uk If this doesn't work, try seeking help from your local MP as they have a direct contact within the Home Office, or try citizens advice. I know its a long shot but don't see any other option. Regarding the N...

All of that information is available in this thread for you to look at. Hi, can u please share the email id where I can enquire abt the status of my Renunciation application? Submitted on 20th Feb, status still asks to visit Birmingham with documents. If u can please share the email id u used. Also ...

Has anyone received the RC in this week? If yes, please say your application submission date and date you received the RC on?

Thanks!

Sorry, completely forgot while writing the response that your mother doesn't have her last Indian Passport. Here is the updated response: Don't think just Indian birth certificate would be enough as that's most probably doesn't establish your Indian roots. I assume none of your parents has an OCI ei...

I think your mother's last Indian passport + your birth certificate should be enough to prove your Indian roots. Comprehensive documents list is available here: https://www.hcilondon.gov.in/docs/1637214486FreshOCI18112021.pdf Good luck! Hi, all! Need advice for OCI application based on my mother bei...

That's great! Thanks for the update. Hello I finally got my OCI delivered today. For ref, I sent them a copy of my RC on Monday and today on Thursday have received my OCI. All the best everyone! Thanks! Would you update on here about the progress of your OCI, please? That will be really helpful! The...

Thanks! Would you update on here about the progress of your OCI, please? That will be really helpful! The online status changed last Thursday and Friday I got a text from DX that they will deliver on Monday. All the best for yours! Thanks! I did on 28th Dec, so around another 20 more days for mine t...

Thanks! I did on 28th Dec, so around another 20 more days for mine to arrive (fingers crossed). When did the online status changed if at all? 7th dec in London Glad that its moving at least. OCI will take around a month from now. When did you exactly did your renunciation appointment? Hello everyone...

Glad that its moving at least. OCI will take around a month from now. When did you exactly did your renunciation appointment? Hello everyone I had submitted my oci application in dec. I received my RC today(after 3 months!!!) and as instructed, have emailed the OCI team a copy of the certificate. Ho...

I applied for RC & OCI around the same time as you, same status as it is for you. Please update us on here, if you are able to get a response at all. Thanks! @asingh13, do you mean to say RC is not required for the OCI application and only signed renunciation form is enough? Do you need to send ...

Hi all, Has anyone managed who applied in/around Dec 2023 managed to receive their Renunciation Certificate? I have been waiting for more than two months, I was told it will take around 2 months. There is no transparency in the system as it doesn't inform the stage it is currently at. Any informatio...

how did you redirect i.e. via royal mail or DX? Yes my wife did. We gave a friends address for delivery of renunciation and it got delivered while we were away. Thanks, it got delivered this time. Has anyone traveled to India on e-visa while their Renunciation was still under review?? The correct em...

Thank you very much for your responses - very helpful.

Kind regards

Hi, I have applied for Renunciation too this week. If u can kindly give me a link where can I check the status of my application. Thanks

The correct email address is inf.london@mea.gov.in Please let us know if you are able to get any response from them, I have made several attempts in past but never had a response. 3 months and no sign of the renunciation certi! How ridiculous! Why can’t they do both surrender and renunciation togeth...

It should take around a month for the OCI to be processed as long as your spouse is not of foreign origin.

Usually once VFS has accepted the application, the process is pretty smooth from there. Good luck!

Thanks! I thought the email needs to be sent to HCI directly, thanks for the clarification. I think VFS only has one email address (the one you mentioned) but I'll check with them. Thanks once again. :) Hi learner1947 and Art87ee , I called the number 02037938629 to get VFS Hounslow mail details. Fo...

In my case they kept the surrender certificate but I am not sure what will they keep if you don't have the surrender certificate i.e. if you are doing both surrender and renunciation applications at the same day. Regarding applying for e-visa for India, they won't keep your British passport, therefo...

I have the same query.

Where does the renunciation certificate have to be emailed for OCI (for those who applied with the renunciation receipt)?

I would call VFS helpline for this, they are quite helpful. Number is available on their website. Hi there, I am about to submit my OCI application. Being a director of a limited company, which documents do I need to upload as I won't be having an Employment Letter. Will a reference letter from my a...

Glad that it worked! Now the long waiting time starts for the application to get approved. haha! My application status changed to ‘Received’ today after that email went out from me complaining about it…exactly as you said was in your case. Thanks. I would email HCI directly, their email address shou...

I did my renunciation as Goswell as well (not long after yours), I was told it will take around 2 months but in reality it seems to be taking 3 months and then a month after that for OCI. This whole process does really checks your patience haha! Appointment at CGI: 07/12/2023 CGI location: London- V...

I would email HCI directly, their email address should be available on their website. I could have shared HCIL email but as you haven't specified which HCI you submitted your application to, hence not sure. It happened with my Renunciation application as well i.e. the status didn't change for 18 day...
