Thank you for your reply. It has given me some clear thoughts on various perspectives. I guess there is no straight forward process to actually surrender an OCI. It might be possible, but it seems like an indirect and futile approach that looks to be unnecessary. I guess the word "citizenship&q...

Hello everyone I have two quick questions. It will be great to have some thoughts on it. Resident in UK. 1. I have an OCI which I wish to renounce/rescind for now. Any thought how do I do that. I read somewhere that Form XXII need to be filled. Do we need to submit this in person or can be done onli...

Your best bet is to send as many documents you can and not take any chance. Your case it bit rare and hence only someone who has been in your shoes recently can confidently guide you. You have already decided to send cancelled passports which is definitely not required. Another extra of your wifes ...

Has the form been changed recently? If I am not mistaken the last section is 34. For cancelled passports - I have submitted my OCI application in person. I still remember the lady at the counter have asked me to get the copies of the cancelled passport (May be because I had valid visas on it. May b...

1. You have to complete the Part A and B for both (yourself and daughter). 2. One set of each with 2 pictures of each applicant. 3. Yes. Both you and your wife have to sign Part B 4. Yes. Send all the Passport (current and cancelled/expired) copies 5. It would be considered as 1 single application ...

Hello Friends I am applying for OCI for myself and my 10 month old daughter. I have a confusion regarding conflicting statements that I just came across on the website and form-A, form-B instructions at the end. The https://www.hcilondon.in/ website states -> “Please submit only one set of the appli...

Hmm Thanks for pointing that out ... Much appreciated But I am not sure if it came by royal mail or not. And I though Royal Mail requires someone to sign at home and if they do not find anyone they usually leave a collection slip. I am not trying to be critical out here, but just trying to understan...

Hi I have a small doubt regarding passport deliveries ? I had my passport interview on 10/07/2014 and on 11/07/2014 I got a message that my passport will be delivered within the next few working days. As I read that "in most cases, your new passport will be delivered by a courier (on behalf of ...

I am applying for naturalisation as a BC in the next 2 days. I just have a quick query as I am collecting all the documents to send by post. Query: In section 2.1 I have the date as 14/10/2005 since it is when I came to UK with the intention of settling (came on a work permit initially). I got my IL...

Thanks a lot jambo. Much appreciated I will apply first and then she can apply after I get the BC. So in all she will have to wait for a few more months. I was really under the impression that we both have ILR > 1 year so it must have sufficed. But really missed that she also needed to have 5 years ...

Thanks a lot for the reply. But I seem to be still in a quandary. According to FAQ Q1, my wife is eligible as she has completed 1 year after getting an ILR so she can apply, but according to Q2. she might have to wait until I get my BC. Sorry if I am sounding confused, but it is necessary for me to ...
