Is it showing under process in BLS or oci website?
My oci status enquiry website whenever I press submit my passport number changes last minute, any suggestions for that?
It's the way they have implemented. Its happening for me as well, even when I am using chrome on laptop. It will start showing status as Under Process in couple of days, if not tonight.

Thank you very much. It's really wierd I submitted on Saturday November 26 but application date on BLS shows something so I'll just have to wait.

Hello everyone,
Did any one got update my aor is 25th november,
I have travel plan for 27th december not sure if i can make it
Is their any other way to have quick visa???
It is too close to call. I suggest going to the BLS office for pickup on the 23rd Dec if they have received it. Once the Christmas weekend starts, it is difficult

Mine is Nov 24th and I have received the updated status. I applied for e-visa yesterday and I got it today. Better to apply for e-visa rather than waiting

Hello folks,

Got a question on OCI application for minor, do the copies of originals needs to be attested by both parent or just one would suffice?

It depends on the jurisdiction, I think. I applied for my minor daughter in Toronto and no attestation needed, but had to send the original Birth Certificate and Passport. They will return them after the application status starts showing up in OCI site.

Thanks, @sid8252 . I would be applying in Toronto jurisdiction. Thanks for answering that. However, regarding originals, I was under impression that we do not have to send original. But since you are saying, you had to provide the birth certificate and passport.
