Firstly congrats on your application for OCI.AmitabhOz wrote:Hi, I am an Australian citizen.. however, regarding the OCI application from Mumbai, much of the information I need is same as anyone else applying from FRRO Mumbai.
I submitted my form to FRRO Mumbai personally on 14th June 2006. This is my story.
1) I did not get any kind of acknolwdgement / receipt of application. The said it will be sent from Delhi and they don't hand out any such receipts. Is this true? Has anyone who has applied from within India faced the same problem
2) The person gave me a handwritten "file number" on the spot. The file number however does not work on the online status enquiry form (It says "The file number is invalid")
3) I could not find a photographer to take photos on a "light" background.. Hence the background is almost white.. with my face covering about 80% of the area. It is of the right dimensions (35mm x 35 mm).
I want to know if this will be a problem.
How will I come to know that my application has been processed and the photos have been accepted/rejected? Will they send a snail mail? or will they send an email?
Thanks in advance for your help.
It is entry visa. AFAIK it is a kind of business visit / tourist visa only difference is the period of validity is 5 years.legin wrote:Did take some researching to find that a Visa like this even existed..
Its issued only to persons of Indian Origin and is also called,
Entry Visa / Long Term Visa / Settlement Visa
(Quite confusing)
But the sticky point would be if it doesn't allow the person to work??
Sundeep are you sure that one cannot work with this Visa.. I tried searching FAQs and Visa notes on this issue but didn't find any
confirming the same..
Can someone share light on this?
