OCI eligibility for wife

Post by db_23 » Mon Dec 09, 2013 4:46 pm

Hello,
I intend to apply an OCI for both me and my wife.

1. Being Indian citizen by birth and now naturalized British citizen, I am eligible for an OCI, its pretty straightforward.

2. My wife is a British citizen by birth. Her father was an Indian citizen by birth but he is now a naturalized British citizen. In such situation, can my wife apply for an OCI as my spouse?
I have read the eligibility criteria and I think the answer is Yes but just want to ensure that my understanding is correct.

Thank You.

Unlike PIO spousal route doesn't lead to OCI unless the applicant is eligible on his/her own right. In this case your wife is eligible for OCI through her father.
