Interesting thought about India and it’s possible. I know in my case, they may have paper records on me, but in their electronic database of record (NADRA) I don’t exist. Which is why in order for me to renounce / surrender my nationality, I first have to prove to NADRA that I’m a bonafide Pakistan...

Indian authorities won’t grant a visa to a Pakistani born US citizen without a renunciation certificate from Pakistan. won't grant citizenship, Not that Visa is denied simply for this fact many Pakistanis visit India and many Sikhs, muslims visit Pakistan, but having Pakistani citizenship will bar ...

even if you get "verifiers" you still can't move ahead since your parents never had NADRA ID?
why are you concerned as you anyway will never visit or live in Pakistan? don't lose your mind over this if nothing works out

Hiring VFS to do the collection job is a wrong move and it will look ok now, but it is decision that embassy will regret in the long run. The ever changing dynamic procedures with the Indian external affairs ministry is going to demand more formalities with respect to Indian visa and Consular servi...

Congrats to both of you
Sorry for misinformation, since based on primary info on DX tracking i assumed SMS/email doesnt come

yes it's SLA and worst case...but considering my bad luck with timelines it's probably best case scenario for me

Now my question is can i keep old passport? can i carry it while travelling and applying for visas? please suggest me what should i do if i want to keep it. Regards not question of CAN but You should carry old passport. If Indian (assuming you applied in VFS) your new passport will mention Old Pass...

Just checked and it is available for collection. Now I need to figure out how will I persuade my grumpy manager to get some time off and submit the envelopes!! Not going to be anytime early next week. God knows why they want to make this process complicated with trips to the visa centre several tim...

I have some questions about this stage when Passport has been submitted and both OCI Card as well as Passport will be sent back to us. 1) VFS will send them back in the envelope we submitted or Consulate will do that? Consulate will do that 2) Any SMS will come or not that your OCI and Passport has...

Both of our case are with Edinburgh that's why we both are stuck at this stage

I will wait!

not a guru but sharing whatever I know In certain criteria - Till age of 18 your daughter can hold both Indian and British Passport, so its ok to use indian PP for exit and enter UK even with British naturalization (if not UK PP), still send British PP securely over courier to be on safer side. Chec...

Thnx for info my dispatch date is same, but still not received :?: :cry: Indian beauracracy is weird Probably they send it to main High Commission in London first. Air India Delhi to London. Consulates like Edinburgh, Birmingham get it later on from them. This explains the delay in Timelines for app...

In place of OCI registration number, you need to put your Passport number. The India Passport number.

thanks a lot...already applied and got my surrender Certificate

Hi guys i got few questions if anyone can answer? 1) What should be OCI Registration Number when getting appointment for Surrender of Passport 2) while scheduling an appointment via https://www.vfsvisaservice.com/IHC-UK-Appt/AppScheduling/AppWelcome.aspx?P=cCiy6xeqlBWf0MSvlUERSCDhdFkas/mFaceUVLcp3A4...
