That is unfortunate. You can get entry visa but won't be able to apply for OCI as e-visa would allow your son to live only for 6 months. And OCI can be applied after 6 months. You go to India with e-visa, and hen change his status by visiting FRRO, and then once the stay is extended, apply for...

Never seen the issue while filling, but after submitting my application, the marriage registration date gets printed in DD-MMM-YYYY format. So submit it and see.

When did you apply? Cause it could take atleast 2 weeks for OCI portal to acknowledge that file is received. So who is saying from OCI/consulate?

Yes, the checklist is old. I submitted employment letter from my employer and my wife wrote a letter declaring her work. Both were accepted.

Where do you see this requirement? U submitted application for OCI a month back. My and wife didn't had name in each others surrendered indian passport. We only provided copy of marriage certificate registered in India and each other current passport. No attestation was required

I will be dragging my wife as well for pickup. Won't take chance. Will try Chai as well :)

My SC is ready for pickup in BLS Brampton and hoping my spouse's SC would be by tomorrow. Any tips/insight for pickup from recent experience their? Wonder how early I need to line up as the pickup is from 2PM.

Submitted application for SC today at BLS Brampton. Can anyone who recently received SC specifically for Toronto consulate, how many days it took to get SC after filing application?

But your e-certificate should have a date and that should be the day when you took oath. So I think any day after that is fine. Shouldn't matter when it was available. Normally guarantor is expected to sign after you have completed your application. So ideally put same date as guarantor if not...

My status updated today. They printed and dispatched. Hope by tomorrow your will also change.
