Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI)

Dude you need to allow required time for processing. As earlier mentioned you need to wait for approx 3.5 weeks for the status to change from acknowledged to printed. So hopefully by mid next week (if not sooner), you'll see progress.

Yes, Ban but I m bit worried.

So, just wanted to know if anyone else has acknowledgement date nearest to mine and if their status changed.

I am not sure how many days will it take to get India Visa if I can't see OCI arrived in London by 20th. Then there will be only 2 weeks left for me.

Thanks
Kamal

Are you seeing any progress?

I am bit worried for mine as it was acknowledged on 13th June but not progressed yet and I have to visit India in last week of July

Any information will help.

Thanks
Kamal

I applied in-person on 11/June at HCI, London. My application shows the below status today:

Date Of Acknowledgment 11-JUN-2013
Documents Printing Status PROCESSED On 02-JUL-2013
Dispatched From MOIA (OCI ) NEW DELHI On
Document received At LONDON On

Can someone advise on the usual timelines between 'Printing' and 'Received in London'?

Thanks for your update.

Mine was two days later. Hope it will move this week.

Normally, observed it takes 10 more days from printing to received in London.

Finger crossed.

The only diff is mine was postal and your is in person

Thanks Ban for the timelines for Visa.

Regards
Kamal

Hi
I applied for OCI in person in Birmingham on the 4th April 2013. The status still shows Printing is under process. Has anyone applied in Birmingham around that time? Need to go to India last week of July.
Thanks

Date Of Acknowledgment 04-JUN-2013
Registration Status at Mission LONDON
OCI- Number AXXXXXXX
Documents Printing Status PROCESSED On 25-JUN-2013
Dispatched From MOIA (OCI ) NEW DELHI On 27-JUN-2013
Document received At LONDON On 02-JUL-2013

My online status dosent show the "OCI granted" text but it shows OCI number is it same as a OCI granted ??.
or do HCI sends a SMS advising to collect the OCI or it will be shown on the online status enquiry.

If you have OCI no then it is granted

It appears your OCI is ready for collection in HCI, they don't send any text/email messages, all we need to do is check status online and send passport for collection in post or go in person.

the documents you need for collecting it is
1) Original british passport
2) Online status enquiry print out
3) if you have a PIO, Original PIO
Optional: if going in person not required, if sending in post, return special delivery cover

IAM3576 · Post by **IAM3576** » Thu Jul 04, 2013 4:33 pm

Thank you very much for your response.
Can I collect my wife OCI on her behalf or she need to collect in personal ?

Many Thanks

eashkuma4 · Post by **eashkuma4** » Thu Jul 04, 2013 4:35 pm

You can collect your wife's at your end, she dont need to go in person

Just take marraige certificate, just in case if they ask
