Hello everyone!
I hope I am posting in the correct sub forum, if not, can the moderators please re-direct me to the correct sub forum?
I applied for OCI for my newborn last year before the second lockdown. However, because of the lockdown, HCI/VFS was closed and we could not get an appointment before 29th March this year. As a proof of Indian origin, we had uploaded both mine and my spouse’s copies of Indian passport. We have not yet received our child’s OCI.
Now because of this massive gap between application submission and OCI appointment for my child, both of us have received our British naturalisation certificate (we did not have British Citizenship at the time of application and did not anticipate that there would be such a long wait). We have an appointment to surrender our Indian passports on April 10th.
Can someone advise if we should surrender our Indian passports which we have submitted as proof of my child’s Indian origin or should we wait till we have received our child’s OCI and then surrender our Indian passports?
Any suggestions would be welcome. Thank you all.
