Note: 3 when the status of an OCI document in the online status enquiry is GRANTED and NOT PRINTED EVEN AFTER A WEEK, please note that the photograph uploaded could not be printed in Delhi. To rectify this, please take a copy of the status report and paste a FRESH PHOTOGRAPH (51x51mm with 80% coverage of face) on the left hand below the status report copy & sign (thumb impression in case of infants) on the right hand side opposite to the photo and submit it at token counter of High Commission (upto 1200 hrs. only) or send by post to OCI Department by special delivery. This will be scanned and uploaded again. This process is likely to take a further period of up to two weeks and the progress can be watched through status enquiry.
1. Yes if the child was issued an Indian passport before registering as UK citizen. No otherwise.tintin wrote:I wonder if someone can help with this.
Me and my wife are Indian citizens, we both have Indian passports and are staying in the U.K. on an indefinite leave to remain.
Our 5 week old son was born in the UK and he has now got his U.K passport.
My questions are:
1. Is he eligible to be registered as an Overseas Citizen of India?
2. In case he is not eligible for OCI, we will aplly for a PIO card. In that case would we have to send any one parent's orginal Indian passport or would a photocopy do? Or instead would it be ok if I send my Indian birth certificate and college degree in original? I am very wary of sending my original passport because there's always a risk of it getting lost and if that happens I'll again have to pay the huge fee to get the ILR.
Can I just state my experience -krazydude wrote:tiya_dutta, you are most welcome. I would recommend if you can spare the time and expense to do a personal application rather than taking the postal route as I have heard some unfortunate mishaps that have taken place with postal applications. I have also read similar incidents on this forum as well.
MF123, I think you should go down to HCI personally and have a word with the High Commissoner there.

If its takes longer and if my family and I are not in this country, is it possible to get the OCI stamped in UAE (Dubai)? for the application i have submitted in the UK?
Does any one has a contact number which i can use to contact High Commission of India, London to explain my situation.
Please advise.
Many Thanks
MF
Thank you so much buddy. I have the same endorsement. Yet, VFS won't accept my SC application as it is already cancelled before 31.05.2010 and HCI inisists they need SC. And I can tell you phones at HCI don't work! I need to escalate this up to a higher level mandarin.OCI_UK
One the first page of the passport, one would get the following stamp
REVOKED
Date of revocation
Acquired British/Foreign Nationality

I am well chuffed by the timeline. Exactly one month! I believe this is the quickest OCI timeline I have seen in this forum.
