yes, you can apply for her OCI & you do no need to wait unitil you get your BC.mallikz wrote:Thanks all for your help.
Soon I'm going to apply BC (on MN1) for my daughter who was born here. Currently she is holding Indian Passport.
My question is once she got the British Passport, can I apply OCI for her immediately or do I need to wait until I got my BC (currently I'm on ILR)?
any thoughts??
thanks
Thanks for your replies. But still I'm a little confused.RAJ2007 wrote:Tech,
For god’s sake please don’t give wrong information. The rule is either the applicant or his/her parents or grandparents was holding Indian passport after Jan 26, 1950, then the applicant is eligible to apply for OCI.
Give the appropriate link for OCI application.

You will be applying for OCI only after your daughter gets British passport.mallikz wrote:Thanks for your replies. But still I'm a little confused.RAJ2007 wrote:Tech,

My daughter is currenlty holding an Indian Passport and I registered her birth as an Indian. Therefore I'm thinking that as she has got the Indian Citizenship so she can apply for OCI directly without waiting for my BC.
Is this correct?
thanks
I heard that if any child born here and got the BC immediatly without any Indian Passport then in that case either of the parent should have BC to get OCI for the child.HSMP2008_JANUARY wrote:You will be applying for OCI only after your daughter gets British passport.mallikz wrote:Thanks for your replies.

Even if your daughter did not hold Indian passport or registered as Indian citizen they are still entitled to OCI as you (Parent) hold Indian passport and getting OCI for your daughter has got nothing to do with your BC.
HI IMBerocca, I disagree with you, as my daughter has already got an Indian Passport and she is registered as an Indian. Please see the rule for OCI extracted from the siteIMBerocca wrote:mallikz,
you can apply for OCI if you or your wife have got British citizenship. If you are still on Indian passport, you can only apply for PIO for you child.
One of the parents need to be British to apply for OCI for a child holding British citizenship.
Hi Raj,RAJ2007 wrote:Mallikz,
I agree with IMBerocca. I rang HCi twice and spoke to two different people last week and I also checked the FAQ in mha website, it clearly says that
ONLY FOR MINORS - if a minor like to get OCI then one of the parents should be eligible for OCI, that means one of the parent must be holding foreign passport. I used to think like you and was surprised after speaking to HCI.
'Minor children of such
person are also eligible
for OCI.' - in your case, you and youwife both are still and therefore not eligible for OCI yet. therefore your minor child can't get OCI yet. It's very odd, no logic in it. unfortuately, that's how it works.
That's why I am going to apply for my son's PIO this week not OCI! After I get my British passport (next year) I can transfer my son's PIO to OCI by paying £18.
You can also check with HCI - 02078368484, option 2, then option 3.
You are right, I was wrong on this.RAJ2007 wrote:Mallikz,
