Hi All, I applied for my parents' visa on 14th Feb and the application got approved on 10th May and they asked to submit passport for stamping. Parents currently live in Kolkata so VAC office will be Kolkata. When I read through all the instructions on the Kolkata VAC website, I am unable to...

Congrats. Hope your mom gets request soon. I too applied almost similar timeline with you for my parents. I submitted on 14th Feb and biometrics was completed on 21st Feb. Since then no movement on the portal. Did you have any communication/status change in-between biometrics and passport...

I so agree to this. They kept my citizenship certificate too. I argued for 10 mins showing them the website says no need to keep originals and they said then we would mark your application incomplete. What a joke! I am quite panicked till I receive it in courier honestly provided level of...

Hi, I checked in https://ociservices.gov.in/welcome and it says 'No record found' where on BLS site it says 'Processing at Consulate General '. Why this discrepancy?

I could see a huge walk in line as well who were to be admitted only...

hi again @rajkamalmohanram :) I have a walk in appointment in BLS coming Monday. I am ready with the docs for both Indian Passport surrender and OCI application. Just wondering if you have already a post detailing this process so that I can refer directly that :) Few questions on my mind: 1)...

Hi @rajkamalmohanram Had a quick question. When I see the Electronic Signature instruction document, the 2nd part talks about how to fill the name of the applicant and date but when I see the Oath Pdf, there are only two spaces to do the electronic signature and no space for entering name or...

Congratulations @rajkamalmohanram :)
