Your kid can definitely can apply for OCI when applied in combination with OCI application of at least one parent . But OCI will 'not' be granted on kid's own application alone based on parents' ILR status.shaik719 wrote:Hi pl can any one advice me on my confusion.
My kid who born here and had Indian passport surrender this wk is eligible for OCI card. Both parents on ILR. Is it true one parent should hold OCI. Please any senior members confirm if we can go ahead with her OCI application thanks
Thanks deyga so you think we should apply PIO card. And oci when parents were applying. But now we cannot apply for OCI on her own. Thank you so much to get me out of this confusion any way I think for kids it doesn't matter OCI/PIOdeyga wrote:Your kid can definitely can apply for OCI when applied in combination with OCI application of at least one parent .

Your kid can apply for PIO now on the basis of your Indian Passports. The kid can then apply for OCI when he/she is 18 or when one of the parents apply for OCI.

Try checking your status using your online registration number rather than acknowledgement number you might be using. May be you will get to see a different ack number .stranger22 wrote:Hello
I applied for my OCI card in person at London office on 20th Sep however, the status enquiry still shows it as under process. I can see some other guys posted his timeline where he applied on 20th Sept and got his OCI approved on 11th Oct.
Could anyone please let me know how can I enquire about my OCI application. I need to travel to India on 18th Nov and need to get the OCI before that.
Thanks
Try Calling them .stranger22 wrote:I tried using both but still getting same results. Any contact numbers where ivxan speak to someone?

OCIApplicant wrote:Hi,
I am applying for OCI has the following case.
My wife has her maiden name in her India Passport. Same was carry forward on the British Citizen certificate.
Now My wife name is changed in the British Passport.
Is anyone has gone with same process. So while applying for OCI what documents are needed for the last name change.
Thanks in advance.
deyga wrote:I would suggest the following :
1. Best option is you & your wife submit in person at HCI. Then the case officer can vet your details then and there thus avoiding anxiety of postal outcome.
2. Carry your marriage certificate in original.
3. When you go for Indian Passport surrender before you can apply for OCI, pick their brains and seek advice.
I think this is a very normal condition you are in. Marriage certificate and forms normally asking for ' any previous name' you should sail ok . Do you have your wife's name on your Indian passport as your spouse ? That will ease the issue.

BRP wrote:Logically and I think, if you carry your original Marriage certificate, you will be fine. I don't think you get surrender certificate in new name as it is only issue with the name on the passport. However, when you apply for OCI you can enter new name and previous name on online application and Marriage certificate will do.... However, please double check with others as well...... Please see below link which might be useful....
