Hi all, I recently renewed my 5 year old daughters British passport, so completed the OCI renewal process via the OCI miscellaneous services section on the OCI website, as her existing OCI is linked to her old British passport. The application was submitted 6 weeks ago, and the status on the OCI web...

Hi All, My 5 year old daughter (British citizen + OCI holder) just got a new British passport. Am I right in thinking that she needs to renew her OCI now that she has a new passport and is under 20 years old? Also, one of the requirements is to upload a signature, and it won't let me proceed unless ...

Hi All, I got my OCI about 2 years ago when I got a British passport. I'm moving to a new residential address in a few days & was wondering whether I need to use "OCI miscellaneous services" to get a new OCI as my old address is stated on my OCI. Is this a requirement? Does the address...

Hi All, A 69 year old friend of mine lives in Denmark & is a Danish (EU) passport holder. She has an OCI, which she acquired in 2016 (she had PIO prior to that, which she acquired in 2006). Her Danish passport is expiring in a few months & she will be renewing it. Once she does that, does sh...

I don't recall the definitive answer to this question or the first questions that I asked in this thread. I remember calling the US customs & border protection helpline (see link below) & getting definite answers to all my questions there. It might be a few minutes before they answer the pho...

Thank you so much

Hi All, I am a British Passport holder living in UK with my French wife. My BP was acquired last year, along with OCI (after surrendering my Indian passport). My wife (married for 2+ years) is in the process of applying for an OCI & has been asked to provide the following - Applicant should also...

OK thank you. I will leave out the OCI bit.

One more question (sorry forgot to ask this earlier) -

They ask "Are you now, a citizen or national of any other country?" I had obtained OCI (overseas citizen of India) after I got my British passport. Does this qualify as a "yes" for the above question?

Thanks

Thank you!

Thanks for your reply. So I will avoid stating any information of my Indian passports prior to the most recent one. should the expiration year be what is stated in the passport (2026) or should it be the year that it was revoked (2016)?

Hi All, I am currently a British passport holder (British citizen) but had an Indian passport up until September last year. I am visiting the US in a couple of weeks & need to sort out my ESTA. After adding all my British passport information, the next question is "Have you ever been issued...

Hi All, I recently got my British Passport & have surrendered my Indian one & am waiting to receive my OCI. However, my wife (French national) needs to register our marriage in France. One of the things that they require from me is "a copy of a recent birth certificate certified by the ...

Ok... Is there a way out for him?

Thank you all for your replies. So lets say he manages to get a letter from his manager saying that he will be employed for the foreseeable future & he gets a premium ILR appointment. Is there a chance that they might call his company / HR to confirm?

Hi All, I surrendered my Indian passport a few days ago after getting a British passport & applied for the online tourist e-visa as soon as I received my surrender certificate (yesterday). My e-visa application was granted today (just received the email). The reason why I haven’t gotten my OCI y...
