Why don't you arrange a re delivery online ? you already have tracking number. Just fill in the details and you are good to go, I will not trust HCIL for anything.
Thanks.

We have tried to deliver your item from our WEST CENTRAL LONDON Delivery Office before 08:48 on 24/04/13 and we have left a while you were out card.
You can arrange a redelivery online, call the number on your card to arrange a re-delivery, or collect the item from your local enquiry office by bringing your card and proof of identification and address.
Any idea if HCI, Loondon will bother to go and collect missing deliveries or arrage for redelivery?

THEY HAVE LOST MY APPLICATION.
They confirm they have received it and cannot find it now.
Asking me to re-submit in person.
Very very very frustrated.
However, they are the only ones who can issue the OCI. So, have to go with it.
I need to cancel the Postal orders, which means I will lose the PO charge (approx 50 pounds in total).
Lose 1 working day, Lose travel expenses, Lost over 7 weeks despite doing everything correct.
Inefficiency to the CORE.
Venga_pal,
It's really sad........how did they contacted you through mail or phone? Kindly let me know.

Hi ,
You can apply in London, there is no jurisdiction for OCI, make sure when you fill up your from on-line select the London station. My jurisdiction is also Birmingham but I applied in London and its processed.

If you check HCI London frequently ask questions.
Can OCI applications be made in India?
Yes. Any applicant wishing to apply in India may see details at Item no.6 at the Ministry of Home Affairs website

I am like most of the others here.. applied OCI for family via post 6-7 weeks back but no acknowledgement yet.
It looks like I'll have to get a tourist visa for their travel end of May.
Is someone could clarify: My family is going away for 3 months and meanwhile if the OCI is ready in UK, is there a maximum number of days before we should collect the OCI card from HCI london? can't find anything on their website.
Thanks
Hazfasaj

If you are director of ltd company and taking salary via UK PAYE system you can write name of your company as employer.
If your regd. office address is address of your accountant you can use that address as company's business address as well.
