Done with BLS for the next 18 years.. ! Got OCI's for all family members.!

take photocopies and digital copies of every known document with you along costs a few cents more.. rather than dealing with them making us pay $100's put of our nose..

ok.not sure of your exact situation...just to clarify, if you are above 20, you do not ever need to visit BLS (at least for yourself), they took out the requirement to renew OCI each time you get a new passport. You just have to upload your new passport and photo after you reach 50.

OCI cards received for my wife and myself. Waiting for my toddler son's OCI (which is with BLS right now) Just another 3-4 days and will be done with BLS.. !

Showing no such detail worked for my wife's and son's OCI, one of them is at BLS for delivery and another on transit.

the best thing to do is create as many applications with those options and submit whichever one they say.. I don't HC gives a damn.. they will anyway do their due diligence since you will be giving them file number just to verify the reason.

it is not a visa.. think of this as a PR for India. others who do not have OCI will have to register at Foreign relations office (FRO) if they want to stay for more than 6 months. If you have OCI you do not need to register. Also, if you stayed in India with OCI for more than 1 and half year in...

lol.. $100!! that's crazy expensive.. Although, I got it for free.. my toddler son created a hell in the waiting room, they had to send us to premium lounge to wait! that was when the premium lounge is being setup.. AC, sofa, water and coffee for a couple hours !

no running around after 50.. it is only online upload of photo and new passport. For above 20, sure, you need to deal with someone ..hopefully India gets a bit more richer than this, prioritizes experience and chucks out BLS.

I am sorry, but who is deleting the data from OCI applications timeline spreadsheet? I entered one for me, my wife and my toddler son as separate rows since we all submitted independently. My wife's and son's data has been deleted. BTW, my wife's OCI has been received in Toronto (18-Apr)...

we are on the same boat, my wife's is dispatched from Toronto on 2-APR as well..my OCI was dispatched and received in Toronto in 9 days.. Should not take this long actually.!

your situation is not the same buddy.. the document was received at Toronto. So at max you will get it in next 3-4 days. For us folks, status has not been updated that it has been received in Toronto.

I am on the same boat... it was dispatched on 2-Apr

is anyone on the same boat as me? My wife's OCI was dispatched from Delhi on 02-Apr. However, it is not received in Toronto after all these days. My toddler son's OCI was dispatched on 10-Apr. Does this have an impact on receiving OCI? We applied on individual basis and not as family.

Yeah.. you should have gotten it on hand by 12 days.. But this looks like some commotion somewhere. As others suggested, please get a eVisa right away

this idea is amazing.! but do we not have to submit the application form online as well?

so far as I know, you can stay in India for as long as you can.. not just 5 years. 5 years is a timeline that you have to spend with OCI out of which if you have to stay in India for 1.5 years to apply for Indian citizenship. So, yes, you can apply for your child's Indian citizenship.

no.. you can let it be until you get a new passport after you are 50 years of age.. even then, you just need to update the new passport details in the web. OCI is not address proof!
