If I am not wrong there was an OCI thread with a lot of useful info on dates, rules etc. I tried to search it on the forum - can anyone locate that for me? Thanks in advance.

Why not just use the search facility, either by clicking on "Search" towards the top of the screen, or indeed by clicking here ... and then of course search on .... OCI

I think you are referring to the sticky thread started by basis on the top. It is no more appearing as sticky in this forum I think.

Anyway what do you need to know about OCI?

There is one of the best link I can give to you on OCI - simply amazing.....

http://www.immigrationportal.com/showth ... p?t=209468

or if you want to have a mega thread only then here it is :

I think what you have been looking for is this thread - http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewto ... sc&start=0

I had bookmarked it 8) Not sure whether it works anymore....


It's a pity that the OCI thread here has been removed elsewhere.

But as I said the earlier message board I referred is of far better help. Of course if you are looking for application from the UK, timeline etc then you may not get that there.

Is this thread not to be used any more? Because when i click on last pages it gives strange messages like 'no post exists'

Anyway can someone share their recent experience on OCI application - where to apply, how to apply, how long it takes at HCI London to get an OCI (i dont have pio card)?

TIA

i think i have a theory why that might be happenning - looking at the earlier OCI post - someone has deleted all the posts of some members e.g. BASIS from all the threads.

And hence the page numbers have been messed about - the page numbers have been allotted to the thread already and now since the messages are deleted the last page numbers dont hold any messages. I may be wrong though...

There is now a dedicated forum for OCI on the immigrationportal.com website.....

I have crated a new thread there for HCI London OCI tracker

You can put your OCI application related dates there.
